The loneliness and struggle that must have been; sometimes we still have glimpses of those how came before us and left their mark...

Images were taken just south of  Kamloops on Highway 5a to Merrit.

It has been almost a month since I posted anything... too much to do in each day and days rushing by with strands left hanging. I worry when that happens as it leaves not enough time to breathe, think and...to experience silence
But during this month my camera has not been idle... continuing to explore the idea and struggles of freedom...

And I continue to find plants a potent symbol of this struggle to grow...anywhere and in so many conditions.
