You are taking one courageous step after another down the healing road. While these are healthy steps, it’s intensely challenging to face the unknown and experiences so terrorizing that your mind wisely blocked them out for the sake of your survival. This is too much to handle alone and it’s important to remember that God’s presence surrounds you in each moment and you have the gift of your small though incredibly mighty group of supporters. Things are unclear, difficult, scary, require a tremendous amount of perseverance, and when you reflect on the past the healing process is evident, encouraging and certainly worth the effort it requires.

Recently I was struggling a lot with my own intense mental health struggles in addition to the stress and fear of my husband’s health struggles and recent hospitalization. Somehow I found the strength to spend some time outside capturing the beauty I saw in the fog and frost that was visible through the windows that morning—it seemed to tell an important, uplifting story that helped me continue pressing on.

This picture is dedicated to all of you and your loving support (sry, I wasn't able to find a prettier leaf)! It means a lot to me, especially in such hard times like this year, and I really want to thank you for every single fav and comment! I wish you a happy new year and even though I uploaded around 250 images this year, I hope that 2017 will be an even more creative year! May the light be with you :)
I got up early and embarked on an early morning stalk, I mean, walk around the narrow alleys of Amsterdam.
The Irises have all faded away and now I am left with the remains and leaves that have to stay until they brown...
Peace and joy to you and your family this holiday season, if you celebrate.
A friend gave us a bright red poinsettia plant. I had fun with varying apertures, window light plus an off-camera light, and shallow depth of field. Thanks for looking!

Wishing you all a great day!!
Another old image which I took in June. Can't wait til the weather gets better to take some beautiful frosty landscapes shots :) Hope you like it!
Due to the weather I got my location much later. By then it was windy and full of noises from the kids coming out to play. So, this robin stopped here only for a brief moment for a couple of shots. It was all in a hurry. At the lens closest range, perhaps a bit too close. No time for adjustment, image is straight from the camera, unedited.

A new Flickr friend taught me a great lesson on how to shoot manually using my macro lens...On Day 2 of this new info, I dedicate this shot to him - I am so grateful for his
patience and teachings!!
You face so many challenging, unknown, unchosen and terrorizing circumstances that have a tendency to drain the color from your vision and create an incredibly unclear atmosphere. And though you often don’t know how to keep going and many times just want to quit, you work very hard and are often surprised to see a little colorful sunlight among your bleak surroundings. This stark contrast is a beautiful reminder that opposing experiences and feelings can exist at the same time—you don’t have to deny the truth and it’s ok to recognize reality in a healthy way.
