Focus On: "Hope", "Renewal" and "New Beginnings"

I have a feature on my own blog called "Tagline Roulette" were I take a word randomly selected from a list and use it to search for images created by POE team members, which I then use to populate the feature.  Last week I broke from my self imposed conventions and used a list of non-random words to create a group of images based on an end of the year theme of "death before rebirth", "decay before renewal", "ending before a new beginning" and "pathways to the future".  This week I wanted to do the opposite here and focus on the flip-side of those themes; "rebirth", "renewal" and "new beginnings", while still keeping an eye to the "pathways to the future".  To do that I conducted an Etsy search of for images by POE members based on the tag words "hope", "discovery", "future", "new beginning", "resolution", "doorway" and "looking forward".  What follows is a compilation of 24 images that, for me at least, evoke the feelings of the theme.  I hope you enjoy the images as much as I did bringing them to you.
