As summer turned to Autumn and then the snows came, I saw only darkness and death. I lost 3 dear family members and 2 very close girlfriends. I didn't want to post, nor photograph nor comment much. I was lost inside of myself for awhile. Yet, I came here and found comfort & familiarity and just hung on the edges. While photographing this orchid today, I felt alive again. The grief that I have been carrying seemed somewhat lighter. The desire to shoot something worthy of posting for all of you returned. The scent of blossoms in the air was incredible. I only wish I could have photographed that!! Thank you for believing, for staying, for being who you are. I need you. As always, critiques are welcomed here. ((( hugs to all )))
