This is so wonderful! Very handsome, very powerful, you really capture your feelings. Here's to you and your HOPE!

This ship pulled into the harbor then was strongly nudged by a tug until it could back into another slip. Having read about it in the paper I was excited to get its picture. The white building is a handsome art deco style former Coast Guard station. Credits: 1. bubble brush: Oscraps Collab...

Hurrah for the Brownie Hawkeye! That was my first camera received for my 10th birthday. Love the page too with great colors.

Chris, carry it with you but don't try to "DO" something specific with it. If you keep HOPE in mind it can manifest in surprising ways. As Phylis said, don't burden yourself with a task.

Wonderful composition of those beautiful photos.

There must be something compelling about horses in the snow! This is so lovely.

I love this amazing page! So beautiful.

Quite stunning way to show your intention to simplify. All the little details add to the super photo.

It is a beautiful photo, but what you've done with it is so inspired!

Gorgeous! Love the back view of the cardinal and the quiet spot of the blackbird photo.

I've enjoyed this so much, thanks all! Yesterday the card from Sandrine & Dids arrived and today Ona's. All so lovely.

Fabulous photo...amazing combining that fancy kite with the gull. Also wonderful typography.

Don't know how I missed learning of the Haps! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. And thanks to MamaO for this generous start to the new year! I love Firefly Nights and picked it despite being at the "wrong" end of the year for all its summer loveliness.

Love all your bird pages, but this is a marvelous take on the lift (and I always like chickadees!) Such a nice frosty window look.

Love the patterns and low key colors. Looks super.
