I took this at Deer River, which goes to show that even the most gorgeous places can be home to subtle as well. Read about Deer River here on on my blog.

It's weird how and when depression can hit you, because sometimes it comes out of nowhere. Sometimes everything can be going great in your life, better than they've ever been, and out of no where wham! Like a big rig slamming into you it just hits, you don't know why, there's nothing "wrong", nothing happened, you just all of a sudden feel down.
It's hard to even talk about, because what is there to say? Someone asks what's wrong, and the only response that really comes to mind is "I don't know". What do you do when it hits, when you're not a person who goes through it regularly enough to have a fix ready? When you're someone who doesn't take medication, or have a therapist, and you're just all of a sudden just feeling like complete and utter shit despite nothing you can think of being wrong?
I have answers for a lot of life's questions, I try to share them with you every day to help those who need it, this though is one I still haven't figured out.

An Osprey perches as mist rises from the Colorado river before sunrise. The Yuma area was used to cross the river by Native Quechan & Cocopah tribes, during days of Spanish explorers, the Mormon battalion, those seeking to join the California gold rush of 1849, those fleeing the dust bowl of the depression era & modern day travelers.

Take thee even or take thee odd, I would not sleep here if I could,
Except for the memories and the stillness that now resides.

Thank you all, my dear friends for all your support, feedback, faves and friendships throughout 2022, it really does mean a lot.
I haven’t been on line for a while, depression came back to bite me in the bum over winter, the cold weather usually does affect my mental health. This year, even more so, we discovered the new house has quite a bad issue with damp, and some of the interior walls become wet when it’s raining, which has caused mould to grow. We left the previous house due to damp and having a landlord who wouldn’t deal with the situation. Now, the damp here is much worse, and again we have a letting agent who don’t seem to be in a hurry to resolve it. Antonio is allergic to damp and mould also, luckily it doesn’t seem to be in his bedroom which is a blessing, but it’s not great. We’ve had builders round to survey the house and now awaiting for them to come and do the repairs that are causing the walls to get wet, but their hands are tied until the letting agent gives the go ahead. 😳
Apologies for not responding to all my recent notifications, I just haven’t felt up to online interaction. Trying to keep optimistic and hoping that the horrid weather will soon get better as it’s also much too freezing cold for me to go out shooting, which is always something that helps my mental health. Roll on summer. Lots of love and best wishes for 2023.

Bryce Canyon National Park, a sprawling reserve in southern Utah, is known for crimson-colored hoodoos, which are spire-shaped rock formations. The park’s main road leads past the expansive Bryce Amphitheater, a hoodoo-filled depression lying below the Rim Trail hiking path. It has overlooks at Sunrise Point, Sunset Point, Inspiration Point and Bryce Point. Prime viewing times are around sunup and sundown.
PS: with the people on the left
I can't breathe, I'm waiting for the exhale
Toss my pain with my wishes in a wishing well
Still no luck, but oh, well
I still try even though I know I'm gon' fail
Stress on my shoulders like an anvil
Perky got me itching like an anthill
Drugs killing me softly, Lauryn Hill
Sometimes I don't know how to feel
Ring-ring, phone call from depression
You used my past and my memories as a weapon
On the other line, I talk to addiction, huh
Speaking of the devil, all the drugs, I miss them
This can't be real, is it fiction?
Somethin' feels broke, need to fix it
I cry out for help, do they listen?
I'ma be alone until it's finished
This is the part where I tell you I'm fine
But I'm lying, I just don't want you to worry
This is the part where I take all my feelings and hide 'em
'Cause I don't want nobody to hurt me
Sometimes I just wanna shoot something scenic. Through the eye of the lens even things decayed have a natural beauty about them.

I took 32 images of this composition, I achieved this photo after the 6th image and another 26 images chasing a recreation of the effect, I didn’t, I came close but no cigar. I didn’t envisage this photo before I took it, it was the result of experimentation. The composition of a single exposed rock was chosen to line up with mist muted sun radiating across the sea using a reverse ND grad. Right exposure but the shutter speed was too fast so I added a 6 stop ND filter, this slowed the shutter speed from 1/10 of a sec to 1.3 seconds with a couple of tweaks of the ISO, then hey pesto this lovely whirlpool effect around the rock, as soon the dark image flashed on the lcd I knew I had something, it was a bit different and so I found out not to be repeated. Have a nice weekend.
Since last night I'm feeling quite depressive because of the never ending nonsense named 'lockdown'.
Now everybody can proof that there isn't and wasn't a pandemic situation at all;
but governments don't end their course!
My power slowly goes away ...

This can be a tough time of the year for many people.
I know the devastation that depression can do to you and your loved ones.
Depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease your ability to function at work and at home.
Depression affects an estimated one in 15 adults (6.7%) in any given year. And one in six people (16.6%) will experience depression at some time in their life. Depression can occur at any time, but on average, first appears during the late teens to mid-20s. Women are more likely than men to experience depression. Some studies show that one-third of women will experience a major depressive episode in their lifetime. There is a high degree of heritability (approximately 40%) when first-degree relatives (parents/children/siblings) have depression.

During the Great Depression my mother’s parents did everything they could think of to keep their family fed and sheltered. Among other things Grandma became a dressmaker in their home and Grandpa made jewelry. My mother passed these earrings along to me before she died.

Last night I was at the bar. Everyone was normally drink beer. Yesterday we drank vodka, Fernet and tulamore. Tulamore no longer. Everything we drank. WHY? Lawyer, a truck driver, programmer (that's me) and random prostitute. We are all depressed! The truck driver told how to carry pipes to the city of Dachau. We increased depression and we drank and drank and drank!

"Depression feels like something dark and rough, eating you from the inside. It feels like sharp, jagged rocks, forming from the inside of your heart. Slowly, piercing through every cell of your heart, jutting its way outside. Until finally... finally... it consumes you. Then, you become one with it"
