Good morning, January 2025. Please be gentle

It was a quiet morning as I explored the world here in New Jersey. It was the first day of the New Year, and I felt well-rested and not hungover. I had spent a peaceful New Year’s Eve alone, enjoying tea and relaxation. The rain from the previous night had left the morning a bit damp, but it also made the air feel clean—perfect for an early photo walk in the woods after my coffee.
