At Taunton, we don't give Christmas cards to each other, we ask one member of the Meeting to craft a card and then we all sign it. Then we donate the money that would have bee sent on postage to the collection of the month.
This is this year's card. It is not in the genre of red robins or snow men. I choose pink as a spiritual colour. I based it on the Christmas tree that was given to me by another Member.
Remembering joyous occasions is essential I think to our equilibrium. If we can keep joy within our hearts, life is made a little easier. Photographs play an essential part. Remembering those first moment of a new born or the life events in the family are prompted by the traditional photograph.
Now we are approaching the joy of spring, Easter and new life.
The yellow of daffodils, often surviving wind and rain, proclaim their joyous colour in the garden and parks after the winter grey. the new life of spring.
I have just bought ( second hand on ebay) a minolta SLR camera and I have joined the local camera club. My father loved photography and I spent many hours in the dark room cellar of our first home watching the image appear on the blank photographic paper.
There was excitement and expectation and so it will be when I go to photograph daffodils with my new camera.
Treasure each exciting new moment.
