Resilience

Fallen, beaten, and reaching with its branch (hand) towards to sky, the resilience in the composition of this lone tree captured my eye while traversing Botany Bay on Edisto Island, SC for the first time last year.

 

We had heard of and seen many wonderful images of the barren trees on this eerie, yet beautiful beach along the Atlantic; however, since Hurricane Matthew ravaged this place in 2016 not many of these trees remain standing.

 

It was amazing and humbling to see what this place looked like, while imagining what it must have been like here during that dreadful storm.

 

Yet, in the wake of disaster there is a renewed sense of hope for the future and excitement to discover something new.

 

And that's what I want to leave you with through this photograph, a sense of hope through the resilience of Nature, and to become excited to get out there and discover new and wonderful things.

 

Take care my friends, and thank you for stopping by to look.
