Tranquil Tuesday

I find it a bit ironic that New Year's Eve is on a Tuesday for the purpose of this blog. To me, New Years is about new beginnings, about another chance to improve yourself, and another chance to be happy. My new year's resolution, as it always is is to just be better. That may include, but is not limited to: being better at sports, eating better, improving my photography, or being happier. Positivity is contagious. The best thing that you can do to make the world around you better without even changing your routine is to simply smile. Next time you're having a bad day, or someone around you is having a bad day, just smile.

Well, Christmas is coming. Thankfully I just finished up all the shopping I need to do. This time of year is actually really relaxing for me. I'm not someone who leaves all my shopping until the last minute, so I don't have to deal with massive crowds, increased prices, or pressure to buy everything in the store. Instead of all that, I get to sit at home, enjoy some coffee or eggnog, read the paper, and visit family. This photo actually was taken from my iPhone, sitting in line for Starbucks. The best way to make this time of year peaceful is to get your shopping done early.

Statues are amazing. When I see a statue, I can sit and ponder about it for hours. "Who is this" is one if the thoughts that come to mind. I love contemplating the history and behind these marvellous pieces of art. Have you ever found yourself sitting in contemplation, wondering the history behind not only the construction of the statue, but the history behind the character portrayed.

You may notice that many of my photos for Tuesdays will encorporate water in some way, that is because of how calming, and soothing water is in it's many forms. From a rushing waterfall, to a slowly moving lake, water relaxes me, and helps me get through the day. That is why I enjoy sharing these images with you. I hope that you can enjoy these photos as much as I do.
