Seeing 2012 (#102)

For your consideration:  the year's final photographic offering from your roving reporter.

Taken after driving from home to the Pacific coast (with visiting guests from Louisiana in tow — greetings Bryan and Susan!),  arriving propitiously literally moments before sunset.

Although this image was not taken on the year's final day, it is a worthy stand-in to serve as an closing ambience and sign-off to the dozen months we've each traversed in our own uniquely personal journeys.

For me, it's been an extremely challenging year.  Yet, of course, one also well-supplied with joys and accomplishments, wonders and growth.

Adieu, 2012.

May the coming three hundred sixty-five days bring all of us plentiful times of beauty, grace, and enlightenment as calming as the essence of this tableau conveys.

Thank you all for visting and sharing my journey;  I hope to see you here next year.

Namaste,
James
