Calendar for January

This is the first image from my calendar of pictures from blogs I have admired over the past year.

It is used with permission from Shari, from the glass doorknob. (The link to the post where the picture appears is here).

I love this blog - it is like a mini meditation each day, and when I was ill last year it was a joy to see such beautiful images from the outside world while I was trapped in my bed. It felt almost like being there, and I thank Shari very much for that escape.

(I'll be able to post a full set of the pictures I've chosen for my calendar soon, I'm just waiting to get permission for them all. Putting it together was enormous fun, but far more complicated than I thought it was going to be. Will you lot stop posting show-stopping images in the same month as one another? Hardly any of the ones I've chosen came from the right month at all.)
