The first week of 2024 is over. I look at this year with goals in mind, and wonder how to fit everything in everything. Starting with a positive attitude, I will continue to meet each week’s photo challenges. Capturing new images with my photo friends. When the computer screen gets too tiring for my eyes, I switch to my new endeavor – quilting. Back at the computer, my genealogy quest has surprised me. I connected with relatives living near Tel Aviv, Israel, London, England, and New Hampshire, U.S.A.
New York City
I have passed this Banksy many times, but just now I discovered the background history.
Yolo County
A short drive down I 80 brings my photo friends to Yolo County and plenty of picture-taking opportunities. We visited various farms on Yolo Arts & Ag Days. A real treasure we waited for was our visit to Glashoff Sculpture Ranch. Amazing! Certainly will try and revisit it!

I thought I commented here , Marlene. I’ll try again. Interesting you have found family through genealogy. A distant cousin found us a few years ago. We visited home in Northern Ireland, And he came here to Arizona. It was amazing to see similarities in our lives. Where in New Hampshire ? My family lives there so I would be curious.
Anyway , lovely photos for the year. Stunning gallery for us. And quilting sounds like a great way to spend time.
