Close to my Heart

A New Year

We enjoyed a quiet relaxing start to 2011 here. We slept in late and then had a slow start to the day with coffee and some time online, followed by knitting. I cast on a quick project for my first of 2011, and will show it to you soon. We had dim sum for dinner (our tradition is to buy frozen dim sum from local Asian store and steam it up at home). But previous to that, in the afternoon, armed with my latest audiobook and my new camera, I went out for a walk. It was a clear crisp day to enjoy the beauty around me.

Happy 2011, may it be a year filled with good health and happiness!

Beauty

Today was a beautiful clear winter day, and I made use of my lunch break from work by getting out with my new toy camera and enjoying the beautiful scenery of this place I am thankful to call home.  I've lived here almost twenty years now, and I'm still in awe at the beauty that presents itself during each of the four seasons.

I hope to be back here with a 2010 restrospective.  Not sure if that will happen on the last day of the year or the first day of 2011, since tomorrow is a work day for me, but I'm composing that post in my head at the moment and will write it in the next day or two.  Until then...
