Please view in largest format...My weekly visit to a Correctional Facility and my having my new Lens for my Canon EOS Rebel XT digital camera had me waiting outside a bit, and as I looked up at the ugliness of the wires there, I saw this tiny bird and somehow it all just "clicked" in my head, in more ways than one. The contrast not only of the wires and his freedom, but my knowing how life is on the "inside" for these women, the Mamas, the Daughters, the Grandmas even, well, it touches ones heart to see families divided in this way. A short while there, yes, for a bit of discipline and correction, but a long while, no. This is a Minimum Correctional Facility, and altho there are a few good 'programs' there, mostly it is very difficult for the women and their families. My heart goes out to them. I wanted to share this photo with all of you, and maybe bring some thoughts into your minds that would be positive energy for them. Thanx for viewing this.
