Wildflower, Shark Bay, Western Australia
Those who visit my blog regularly will be familiar with my interest in photographing nature. I’m always on the lookout to photograph something beautiful and/or unexpected. Finding a flower growing beachside among shell rubble in harsh conditions in Shark Bay was a special moment for me. It brought home what I know to be true … there’s strength in fragility and against all odds the beautiful will push through.
Painted blue tree Morawa, Western Australia
The Blue Tree Project originated in Western Australia. Dead trees are painted blue in rural communities to raise awareness of the incidence of depression in these areas. It is a mental health awareness project. When I see a solitary one in the middle of a paddock or roadside it is a reflection of a community in action. Just like a solitary flower in rubble, I’m reminded, against all odds, the human spirit does push through.
Against all odds has been a motif in my life. I know the beautiful does push through. I experience this every day and hope I’ve now shared it with you.
Until next time
As always

It really is! Thought of you when I was in Foxes Lair a few days ago. It is like a florist shop with native vegetation in full bloom! Will post when I’m back in the city.
