My Chum Penny has collated the #Geograph member's "New Year Day" photos into a single #Article, for 2022. I wonder if she will do the same thing for 2023?

Early morning clouds and flocks of geese fill the sky above the California Central Valley on New Year’s Day morning, 2023.

We spent New Year’s Day in a wild place with friends, sharing food and stories, and photographing birds and the landscape in which they live. I can’t... (continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2023/01/09/new-years-morning)

Cloudscape With Birds. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell.

Migratory birds fill the winter sky against a backdrop of clearing storm clouds.

Yes, it is a little bit difficult to see the birds in this photograph. (If you have the option, you may want to view it larger.) But in a way, that is kind of the point — to set the... (continued: https://gdanmitchell.com/2023/01/07/cloudscape-with-birds)

First photo of 2023. At Cardiff Rugby #newYearsDay #cardiff #rugby #family

An old scholar lived in a secluded house, where he planted a garden full of all the plants, flowers, and trees in the world.

One beautiful spring evening, a group of young ladies came to the house. They said they were on their way to visit the zephyr-aunts, and asked if they could rest in the garden for a while. The scholar obliged.

Not long after, the zephyr-aunts arrived. The girls told the aunts they'd just been on their way to visit, and how fortunate it was that the aunts should have arrived here at the same time as them. They quickly arranged a feast to celebrate.

But when one of the aunts accidentally spilled a drop of nectar on one of the girls' dresses, she flew into a rage and insulted the aunts. Furious, the aunts abruptly left.

The girls revealed that they were elves who lived in the flowers of the garden - Willow, Peach, Plum, and Pomegranate - and every year they visited the zephyr-aunts to ask for protection from the cruel winds. Now that Pomegranate had insulted the aunts, the elves were afraid for their safety.

They asked the scholar to plant a scarlet flag in the garden every New Year's Day, with the sun, moon, and planets painted on it. In return for his protection, the elves granted him long life without old age, and he still plants a flag every New Year's Day to protect the flower elves from the ferocious winds.

Dear Russian fellows!

Those who now spend good time meeting friends, and families, visiting nice places, eating yummy food, and drinking wonderful drinks. Those who are still alive and hopefully in good condition. Those who can still read something outside of official news. Happy New Year!

In this time when you are healthy and wealthy please do not forget that people are dying around you. They would be glad to spend their time with their closest people and give them joy and wealth. But some of them are dead, and some will die soon. Leaving some other people without a family member, a friend, or a parent. Leaving a gap that cannot be filled anymore.

Sadly, some of them are dying not because of illness or age or forces of nature but because they were forced to die by people. By a government that was not strong enough to avoid an armed conflict or have its own profit in killing people, or by a killer who uses any situation to fulfill the urge to kill, or by people who believe otherwise they will lose their power, by mad people who live in their own worlds, or by those who were ordered to kill and who was not strong enough to refuse.

Recall that no one can revive dead people. And that life is a higher treasure that can be obtained. You don't want to lose your life, like anyone else. You don't want to lose your parents, friends, or family members because they were killed.

And recall while anyone thinks that killing people may be not a bad approach, someday this person might kill not only enemies but friends.

On this new year's day, when you are healthy and wealthy, please do not forget that someday it can be changed by those who allow the killing of people.

But while you are healthy and wealthy, you have the power to prevent it.

And please have a look at these positive pictures. Well, not that positive but at least they are true.

The clear #bluesky, a few #clouds up on high, the #calm #sea and bright #sunshine. This view from near #coralbeachskye was taken on #newyearsday. If you look you will see the distant mountains on the #IsleOfHarris are covered with snow. It was 0°C. I use my #iphone to take pictures. We are all #photographers now. We are all #editors and #copywriters and #publishers. Thanks to those of you who #favourite and #reboost. It means a great deal. Thanks for sharing. Really. #isleofskye #LoveScotland

The Militant didn't even go to the @RoseParade, and he only watched some of the re-runs, but today still felt more like #NewYearsDay than Sunday did.

I still don’t understand why we celebrate the New Year’s Day 9 to 10 days after the summer solstice (Southern Hemisphere). Methinks the New Year’s Day should be on one of the solstices or the equinoxes. #newyearsday
