Protector
Sometimes an image finds you. I was debating yesterday what to do for my 52 week project this week and as I was working in the yard I came across a birds nest that unfortunately had fallen from a tree. I assume a squirrel or blue jay had gotten to it and all the eggs were destroyed except this one. It only had a hole in it and the contents had been eaten. I knew I needed to use it for a photo. Unfortunately I didn't quite get the light right on my self portrait but I don't have time to re-shoot.
As my kids approach adulthood I have more of a desire to protect them from the world. Especially my oldest who is almost 20 and goes to college and has a job. It pains me to think of what she has to endure in this world as a transgender woman. Especially in this not-so-great state of ours.
