Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: pure

I'm just not organized to have a more appropriate image for my New Year wishes, but then thought that this fresh, pure, white flower might represent the start of a brand new year for us all. I send each and every one of you my very best wishes for a happy, healthy New Year, full of contentment and joy (in between those inevitable peaks and valleys, LOL!). You have all made my last three years here on Flickr a delight. I appreciate every single time you have stopped by to look at my photos and to leave a comment. Your words of encouragement have helped keep me going and I believe have helped me to improve my skills : ) Well, perhaps "skills" is the wrong word, seeing as I still don't know how the various settings on my camera work, LOL, but you know what I mean. So, to my kids, family, friends here in the city and province, and far away in other parts of the world, I send my very best wishes for a very happy New Year!

Took this shot earlier this afternoon. I was out on a two-hour + walk in a local park in around -28C (-18F) weather this morning and had nicely warmed up, back home in the warmth. Now, looking at this gorgeous white Crysanthemum, I'm feeling cold again : ) Not sure if it because of the white or maybe the petals remind me of ice crystals. I needed to post a hot image next to this, hence my water droplets against red, LOL.
