"The best is yet to come."- by johnfalconer

"The best is yet to come."-

said the late Frank Sinatra and then Robin Sharma, the Canadian author (and I personally think, philosopher) says: "Don't live the same year 75 times and call it a life." (75 is his number not mine!)

And finally that brings us to William Shakespeare "Come, gentlemen (and of course ladies), I hope we shall drink down all unkindness."

Cheers and may your New Year be filled with the simple joys of life and the warmth of family and friends. Happy New Year!

As we step into another year, may it be filled with (photographic) possibilities, renewed energy, and opportunities for us to grow and thrive.

And remember when lining up your next photo:

“There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.”
- Ansel Adams.

And:

“If your photos aren’t good enough, then you’re not close enough.”

- Robert Capa

Happy 365 photography.

(This photograph is the Sydney New Year’s Eve fireworks from the balcony. This is as close as I got!!)
Loving those quotes! Happy New Year to you, dear John, and all those you love. Wishing you another good year of photography ahead and good wishes for your health.

Outstanding photo and wonderful quotes! As for ‘the best is yet to come’ we are awaiting the birth of our second grandson. It is also the title of a song I have requested for my funeral,(by Scott Krippayne) which I hope is years away as I want to enjoy the blessings of my grandchildren!
January 2nd, 2024  
Happy New Year to you and your family!

I love your first quote. I need to tell that one to my husband because he focuses on work too much, year after year after year! He self sacrifices and doesn't take time to live a balanced life.

Cathy. I’m sure we won’t be playing song for some time to come!
