A New Year’s Day California sky.
Every New Year’s Day for the past few years I have made it a goal to be out in the natural world when the first sun of the new year rises. While this does tend to interfere with New Year’s Eve revelry — hard to stay up until midnight when you have to wake up at 3:30 am — it has produced some pretty special New Year’s Days, especially since some friends have taken to joining us.
We were “out there” again this year, and the day did not disappoint. As I like to say, “We great the actual dawn of the new year” together — sharing photography, wonder, snacks, a meal, a morning champagne toast, and more. Late in the day this year I looked toward the sky and saw some lovely clouds in the south, so I tilted my camera up and made this photograph.
