January, and a new year gets underway. For some, it may mean new routines to look forward to or perhaps new passions to explore. Cold weather even snow in many parts has us cooped up inside. Whether books or online articles, I find myself reading more, wishing I was doing so in an outdoor café. Despite my inner desire to hibernate until spring, in between cold drops of rain, and under California’s winter of intermittent overcast skies, I nudge myself outside for a walk along the trails. Sometimes my camera accompanies me to capture the landscape, I often take along food for thought, sometimes gleaned from the pages I’ve enjoyed. Hope you can enjoy these links in a warm corner filled with sun or by a warm fire. Here’s the latest round-up of good reads and great finds:
