With warmer weather comes more time spent out-of-doors, and my photos are starting to reflect that change of focus. Sometimes the "perfect shot" was no further than my own backyard.Most viewed image was The View from Stark's Knob

A personal favorite has to be Sentimental Journey: Saint Brigid's School, since that building is where I received my (formal) education from Kindergarten through 8th grade.
It was the beginning of quite a Journey, one that won't end any time soon, I hope!

I enjoy your monthly photo collage. So true; the world in microcosm is all around us.
Kia ora Diane!
As you move into warmer weather where you are, we move into winter where we are. I love summer. I have thoughts that keep me warm through winter till spring and all its promise of summer.
During winter I work on these thoughts. Here's a thought I keep in mind, sometimes even in spring:
The hazy balmy days have come in fast,
A garden-loose late-blooming tulip yawns,
Limp petals soft from drooping roses cast,
And daisies flourish on the feathered lawns;
A cicada wakes from the nymphal sleep
Then sheds the fragile nut-brown pupal shell,
And so begins its steady skyward creep
To chant the long percussive choric spell;
The karo's darkened pods crack and expose
The cloying seed in clusters set to fall,
A blackbird swoops down keen to interpose
And sing his warbling chronicle to all;
With these the days I long for have begun,
The warm and lazy summer days of sun.
Catchya later

Paul,
Thanks! I find that the 365 project has encouraged me to notice objects and details that I missed before.
Ken,
Lovely verse - thank you for sharing. Having friends in other time zones has been equally eye-opening. The world is a richer and more complex place than ever I imagined.
