Weekly Photo Challenge ~ ‘Fresh’

Fresh out…this tree’s first leaf begins to emerge on it’s own from out of ‘nowhere’. Can’t help but love Spring. “New-ness” is good. Fresh starts are so appreciated. Love the visuals that Spring gives us that new beginnings are possible and can come from anywhere. We just have to look for them… and be willing to let go of the old stuff that needs to fade into the distance. Sometimes the letting go of the old, and letting go ofRead more
