Inspired by Dutch goes the Photo: Connect
…your challenge is to capture anything that either connects or with which you feel connected.

A sea of mismatched branches growing en mass caught my eye this weekend – as I was walking alone in the woods. Not another soul in sight.
All balanced just so…yet not making any sense to me.
I couldn’t help but wonder…why (or how) the branches came to grow in such a way. Haphazardly entwined and still surviving. What happened? A confusing sight to which I felt oddly drawn to. Snapping photo after photo.
Was nature imitating life in this current upside down world?
Forging a way to connect, however tenuously. Reaching out. Over and under and through the unknown. Despite the obstacles.
Somehow holding on.
I love this photo! Beauty is its own truth, I think, and its own meaning.
You really have such a fine eye … I really love the things you take pictures of, for the most part. So do lots of other folks, apparently! I think this one is really special.

Thank you. I also love your comment: “Beauty is its own truth…” I think that really crystallizes what pulled me in. Thanks too for your kind words. I am glad you “see” what I see in what I photograph – This one was extra special to me too. 🙂

You’re most welcome–your photos are different from many others…I always look at them and ponder, as there’s more to see than what’s one the surface.
