this life can be rough.

as wild as the winter winds

and yet... beautiful

some days are just a struggle.

You try, and try... and things just feel awkward... like everything is much too difficult.

This whole week has been like this.

I could ponder at the reasons... but it really doesn't matter.

I am trying to move on.

Trying to be the best photographer/ wife/ mother/ friend/ artist/ person... I can.

And I demand so much more of myself than you could possibly imagine... or perhaps, not enough...

I am never sure. But there it is.

I do know one thing though.

I love taking photographs...
