Thoughts on the First Photograph of the New Year

Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro Lens

Ordinarily and under ideal circumstances, you'd prefer that your first photograph of the New Year be of some significance or somehow be noteworthy. 

I can think of any number of subjects that might fit that bill, and I had in mind a couple of places to visit on Tuesday that may have lent themselves to such opportunities, but relentless rain throughout the entire day deterred me.

So my first photograph of the year was of a lens that I had planned to sell on eBay, but ended up not selling on eBay, so that first photograph proved absolutely and entirely to have no utility or note.
