Week 2 - Family

A candid moment: in their well-lit dining room, my parents build a puzzle they received for Christmas.

Week 1: Shadow

Most of Week 1's days had cloudy or snowy weather, but just before dusk on New Year's Day, I noticed sunlight streaming through the windows of my parents' bedroom. This image of Mom's dragon figurine became an instant favorite.

My ever-thoughtful girlfriend presented me with a challenge this year: 52 of them, to be exact. I'll be posting the results, so watch this space 😊

Going through some boxes today and I found some of my old glasses. The Harry Potter look never worked for me, but I loved those wooden frames.
