It’s New Year’s Eve again and almost the end of 2025. In this country, it was definitely tumultuous, particularly on the political end, but there was some good stuff, too.
I was never much interested in big parties for December 31 and over the years have attended enough of them that I feel I don’t really have to any more.
A small group or even a good meal for two is more my speed.
In the meantime, we have been experiencing over the last three days some nice December weather. Cool but not cold, no wind and a little sun. While many parts of this country are encountering terrifically awful weather with freezing rain, gales of wind and metres of snow, we have been very fortunate here in our valley.
My very sincere thanks to all of you who follow or who simply take the time to stop to leave a comment. I’ve enjoyed our interactions. I wish you and yours good things for 2026.

A quiet intimate time with loved ones sounds like my kind of New Year’s Eve too. Thank you for sharing beautiful photos that inspire me to look out and appreciate nature’s wonders and not focus too much on my work screen. Happy New Year!

A lovely last post for 2025 Lynette. It is the right way to move forward to hopefully a better year. Like you, our NYE celebrations are now low key, likely just the two of us and perhaps watch some of our 2025 adventures. Happy New Year’s Eve and Happy 2026. Allan
