Unusual weather for the start of a new year. Mild, foggy and a bit of rain.

Spent the morning wandering my yard taking photographs. The color still in the yard sings in this type of weather. The cedar, maidenhair grass and the red dappled willows in the background of this photo lift my spirits and will no doubt soon become inspiration for another painting.

I hope your holiday season was grand and I wish you first a healthy new year then all the best for the coming year.
