Renewal: to make like new : restore to freshness, vigor, or perfection. (Merriam-Webster Dictionary)
These photos conjure thoughts of renewal for a fresh start:
~A drop forms in the morning light of Puget Sound, Washington state. Soon, it will fall, leaving room for another drop to grown in its place.
~A staghorn fiddlehead uncoils into a spiral, creating a new fern frond in the forests of Kauai, Hawaii.


Beautiful. Visions that help us renew our soul.
Thanks. Nicely put. I’ll take it!
In New Zealand unfurling fern fronds are the basis of the koru – a sign of renewal and beginnings.
I love the timing of the shot with the drop of water though; so well taken.
That is so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. I hope to learn more about Maori culture (apparently I already have similar thoughts!) I will be in New Zealand in less than a month. I’ll be looking forward to koru to come.
