Some days are bleak!  I captured this image a while back after one such day. I woke up feeling heavy and anxious and it didn’t let up all day.  No real reason, not logical, worrying about people and things beyond my control, efforts to distract myself,  talk to myself and logic a way out worked for a few minutes before my mind grabbed onto something else. Overthinking. Anxious about being anxious!! Totally stuck!! Luckily days this hard are rare, but when they happen I am acutely reminded of just how fragile we humans are!!  Once the sun set I felt better.  I cooked dinner and went to bed.  It passed while I slept. I woke to a new day with shrouds of heavy fog so I grabbed my landscape lens and headed to some distant tree silhouettes.  A bushfire had ripped through the area.  Trees were skeletal, black and broken, teetering, hulking!!  The entire scene looked apocalyptic, but, there was new life, delicate, translucent, apple green leaves emerging from the most blackened of trunks.  There was also a family of Restless Flycatchers.  I was trying to photograph one when I captured this image! He is hidden in there if you look carefully!  Somehow the image reflected the bleakness of the previous day, and also the way out! Interesting that for me, finding or creating a visual image of my feelings or situation, especially the really difficult ones always seems to help!! One of the many reasons I love photography!
