So here we are again my friends. The fog today is thick and relentless. It appears I have lost my way, there is no path in sight, much as I feel in my personal life. I think I have two choices here. I can curse the fog and the trees, succumb to despair, and curse the events that led me here. Instead I believe I will move forward and blaze my own trail. By doing this I can control where I am going, where I end, and experience new adventures. The trees and the fog are not a curse, but a rather a blessing, for they allow me to travel a road not yet traveled, to experience things not yet experienced, and to meet fellow travelers I may not otherwise meet. There WILL be a fifth and final picture in this series, when the sun breaks through into my life again. It may be weeks from now, it may be months before that sun fully shines for me again - but it WILL shine again. Thank you to all of my wondeful friends for your support, your well wishes, and the confidences you have shared with me regarding your own pain. Each of you is ray of sunshine helping to guide my path and I love you for it. Rich

Fog can only work to confuse and will always attempt to shield all that is real in life. Knowing this, your path becomes easier to see, the woods become plains, and the fog lifts to reveal the beauty about you. Rich, you are on the correct course already. The fog is not a barrier to you. It will not prevent you moving forward. Continue on, one step, then another. An old philosopher once said, "Every great journey begins with the first step." Keep your shoes on, my friend, and keep walking.

Glad to see you're on the right path as well my friend. You could have stopped, leaned against one of those trees and refused to face what's behind and ahead of you. Instead you chose to leave the past where it belongs, and search out the future and enjoy the present. Good for you. Very nice shot to fit your mood and a great narrative to explain how you feel. Good post Rich. I think your name suits you well because you are rich with hope.

I love the layering of the greys of the trees in this picture and the weird gnarled branch shapes. Added to my favourites. I love fog, the quiet tempered state it brings.

Wonderful narrative, and actually, although it represents something you're trying to break through, this photo is quite intriguing.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

Looks like something out of The Blair Witch Project. (Dumbest movie ever made.) Kinda spooky. I love the foggy look. Hang in there Rich. Things will get better.
