When I took up the 365 Challenge, I began with few expectations. My goal was simply to take in what was around me. In the course of the year, that simple goal has been more than achieved. The need to meet a daily deadline has forced me to engage more fully in the wonderment around me. I’m more aware of the remarkably creative ways people of all faiths, and of no faith, find amazing ways to represent the spiritual.

So I’ll continue the review of the year’s images that I started in yesterday’s post.  These images are in no particular order or priority, rather, they are a sampling of the many places and objects I've been recording this year.  In sharing these details, which come from many sources, I think I prove my point!
