Looking to return in 2023

After a three year hiatus (and three previous years on project without a miss) I am restarted my 365 project in 2022 only to fall off in the spring for various reasons. I am a VERY amateur photographer in Southern California with two goals -- trying to chronicle the year with a picture a day and also improve my photographic skills. Comments/suggestions/criticism encouraged and welcome. I shoot with a Canon 60D either 18-135mm f/4-f/5.6 zoom, 50 mm f/1.8, 24mm f/2.8, or alternatively (more often than not) iPhone 13.
