With the twelve days of Christmas past and 2024 now behind us, we have welcomed in a new year.
3rd January saw a fabulous new moon. A shining sliver appearing as dusk fell with just one solitary star above.
As darkness grew the image became more intense, with the face of the “man-in-the-moon” revealing itself more clearly.
A quietness descended on Studio Hundy after the hectic printing process that took place in advent came to an end.
Cold clear nights in recent days encouraged us to light our firepit, heat up some glogg and reflect on the year gone by.
The flickering flames and glowing embers created an atmosphere ripe for remembering what has passed and what maybe is coming towards us from the future.
Christmas decorations have been dismantled and packed away. This too gave chance for reminiscing – within a wider time frame – considering when each adornment arrived in our lives, and from whom.
Some remain as mere magical shadows in the memory, softend by the gentle glow of winter light.
We are not the only ones that have been enjoying ourselves during this festive season. When the ice melted (sometimes with a little help from inside our kitchen) the bird bath became the focus of a great deal of fun:
And then there were three – “Sparrow Party“
All good wishes to visitors to my website for 2025
