The new year is a good time for some cool, calm reflection on our lives. It’s a time to take a crystal clear look at where we’ve been and where we’re going. A lot of folks like to make resolutions on this day of the year, but I find that planning a big change on a certain date does not carry the gravitas needed for success.
Anyway, I can’t believe it’s 2024! I remember when the year 2000 seemed so futuristic, and I wondered if I’d live long enough to see it. Where’s those flying cars?
As for me, I’m just going to grab my camera, mount my sturdy beast, and head into the wilds, continuing to do what I love most. Happy New Year!!

Wow, that AI picture really had me going. Brilliant, Michael. I’m not one for resolutions, either. All the best for 2024. As always, I look forward to reading you, and seeing the pictures of your part of the world.

Happy New Year brother. All the best for the new year doing what you are doing. It’s great work. Flying car??? Don’t you think our roads are dangerous enough. I would like one coming through my window at night or evening the day. Have fun. Go jolly.
