One of my New Year’s resolutions for this newsletter is to do more frequent short updates over on my Instagram feed and on the photo-sharing app, Flickr.

Basically, microblogging with photos. We see and do a lot more here than I have time to write up for the newsletter. And I am sure no one needs a more crowded inbox. So, photoblogging it is.

And one of my personal resolutions is to get outside more—even in the winter.

For some reason, this Berlin winter seems even longer than most. (And most Berliners will tell you the winters are long.) The past two years, I’ve focused on hunkering down: making our apartment cozy, drinking herbal teas, lighting all the candles, setting up game nights with friends.

But this year, I started going a little stir crazy after the holidays and decided I needed to get out and get into nature—even if nature is cold, grey and icy.
