It's been an awesome Holiday in the South Island/Te Wai Pounamu, and arriving back to the 'Big Smoke' (Auckland City/Tamaki Makaurau) I composed this image along the Auckland Waterfront, on the drive home.
I have been visiting the Kotare here for the past year, and find them beautiful to watch. When the rain came this Kotare looked right at home, in its element. A sentinel. Almost appearing stoic/defiant in a bleak situation. Hence the title 'Resilience' as in resilence of spirit. Not the sharpest of images, and there is the noise from the square crop. But I like the authenticity of this image.
Thank you for your visit, comments and support.
Have a great rest of week.

Coming out of the darkness and into the light isn’t always liberating — sometimes it’s jarring, even traumatic. The shift can blind you, leave you uncertain about your next step, or make you want to turn back.
But moving forward isn’t about sudden clarity. It’s about the discipline of keeping your head down and taking that next step, even when you can’t see the full road ahead. Shadows pass, light returns.
In those moments, the only real compass is the process you’ve built for yourself — the routines, the resilience, the quiet strength you’ve been shaping long before the hard times arrived. Trust that process. It’s what carries you through.
Nobody is going to save you, except yourself sometimes. People will support you, in your hardest of times, but taking it as a victim's view is probably the last thing you want to do.
Week 3 of Kim Klassen's Be Still lessons. "Trust the Process".
I am still working my way around the thought of doing still life.

Soon to venture out and experiment further.

"Just when I think I’ve mastered trust, I continue to be tested again. It is as if someone up there is saying “She hasn’t gotten the lesson yet. Let’s keep putting situations in front of her that continue to test if she can REALLY trust!”
