Renewal is Cheri Lucas’ challenge.
This word conjures a variety of images, from bright blossoms to meditating monks. When I think of “renewal”, I think of starting a new job, arriving in a new city that’s ripe for exploration, walking through a new apartment with white walls, and taking a hot shower after a challenging day. I
Share a picture that means RENEWAL to you!
I have chosen two photos for this week. The first one is quite obvious: a seemingly dead branch suddenly sprouts with life! 😀

These are great shots but I love the way we see the new shoots on the branches… 😉

That ‘dead’ piece of wood coming to life was a great find.
And the photo of our combined sons in that spot… I was observing them in stead of the building pit behind the window. Special young people.
Thank you, my friend.
