While I processed this picture, paid attention to the levels and textures and opacity strengths, I found a part of my brain meandering over to other thoughts.
First, I kept thinking about what one of my Flickr friends (LanaScapes) had posted to me about what a tough year 2012 had been. Amen to that. But I rode out that storm as I always do, with the unwavering decision to swim rather than sink.
And then I was thinking about the birds in this picture, a group of them on the right and a solo bird on the left. Why the separation? Is the bird on the left an outcast? I started to sing the lyrics to "Subdivisions" by Rush (Hubby's favorite band) and decided to look up the lyrics in search of a suitable title. But as I read through, it just didn't feel right.
Why should that bird be an outcast? Why not, like me, a soul who has decided to rise above rather than sink below? So I started going through more Rush lyrics in search of that elusive title, that elusive message and feeling.
I found myself getting lost in all those lyrics, all those words and messages that suddenly were projecting right from my soul. Hubby may love this band for its music, for Geddy Lee's stellar bass-playing (Hubby is also a bassist), but I love them for Neal Peart's words.
And so, among a dozen other songs that spoke the feelings in my own heart, I found myself drawn to "We Hold On".
Through all of life's dramas, from the petty to the heartbreaking, we hold on. And maybe, even more than that, we hold on until we're ready to let go and fly again...

The town of Breckenridge was started as a mining town in the Gold Rush Age in the late 1800's. It was a boom, bust era, as the town grew from striking gold, then silver, then very little happened until the dredges came in and dredged the Blue River that runs through the small town. Today It's mostly a great place to ski, vacation, fish and tour with beautiful views from every angle.

One can live through all tribulations and disappointments by constantly standing firm and then taking new steps. This is a primal trust which in the face of all the attacks of frustration and despair becomes a lasting hope. In this way one can practise the virtue of perseverantia, of holding fast, of persistence, of endurance.

Two photos with four textures, all manipulated thusly through experimentation. With texturing one never really knows the outcome.

We crunch, shovel, gobble burp, belch, squeak and grunt,
our tails are curly as a slinky, wiggly as a helter-skelter

Badger by John Clare
When midnight comes a host of dogs and men
Go out and track the badger to his den,
And put a sack within the hole, and lie
Till the old grunting badger passes by.
He comes and hears - they let the strongest loose.
The old fox hears the noise and drops the goose.
The poacher shoots and hurries from the cry,
And the old hare half wounded buzzes by.
They get a forked stick to bear him down
And clap the dogs and take him to the town,
And bait him all the day with many dogs,
And laugh and shout and fright the scampering hogs.
He runs along and bites at all he meets:
They shout and hollo down the noisy streets.
Walked by under this and was quite happy to have been looking up. ;)
