ASHESÂ to ASHES
Today is a tough day for me – it would have been Mark’s 51st birthday . . .
I considered not posting any image at all, but then had to force myself to redirect my energy and understand that this photo-of-the-day project is not related to my emotions during the day. It is more of a reflection of the things I experience, the places I go, the people I meet, the ordinary, everyday life things I observe.
Emotions become a part of the image, they do not preclude the image.
And so I find it quite ironic that a walk around my back yard should reveal ash covered foliage . . . not just ash from the fires in the surrounding area, but ash as a symbol of the death we must all experience; a reminder of sorts . . . . . .
a dying leaf
honeysuckle
. . . . . from ashes to ashes.
