As I sit and wait for the new year to arrive, I'm reflective, sad and am hopeful all at once. This has been the worst year of my life. Losing Phil to brain cancer was earth shattering and I'm trying to piece myself back together. I miss Phil more than I will ever be able to express.
Covid, social separation and political blues.
Phil loved Forest Gump, to work through his angst Forest ran.
I hate to run but I love to take pictures, so my grand gesture for Phil, is I'm going to take 365 days of images. I hope that it will improve my photography, get me closer to nature and help heal me. I know my grief will last a lifetime, I will love and miss him always. My hope is this year will open up a new chapter of my life. My morning walks are time that I can think, I talk to Phil and I love the hunt of the image. I am setting a goal that I will improve my skills and learn more about the craft of photography.
The day begins with a quick stretch and then I'm out the door right before the sun rises. There are very few people out, some exercising, photographers and dog walkers. I usually spend about 3 hours walking, taking images and restoring my energy. It is what inspires me to get up.
I never have a plan when I leave home about where I will walk, I let my inner self lead the way. The last couple of days I have been walking where Phil and I walked as he recovered and tried to build strength. I find it soothing to be where we shared so much. We shared so many stories, held hands and enjoyed looking for birds, otters and gophers. So many beautiful memories.
The moon is always a challenging image to catch. I'm practicing and learning....
Each day the sunrise is different and I feel blessed each time I see it come up.
Waves.....represent my grief. There is a release in watching them.
I think that the birds and wildlife are the highlight of my day.
Hummingbirds have been with me for the last few days. Magical. Those are the times I can feel Phil with me.
Little hummingbird feet!
Wishing you each a Happy New Year. I'm looking forward to carrying out my goal of 365 days of images.
