Resolute in Solitude

Lonely.  With a glance at this picture, some might  think "alone".  A solitary tree, resolute in its conviction to have survived the winter storm.  Why not resolute in strength, instead?   Often times, a picture gives dual meanings or interpretations.  Such could be the case with this photograph taken during the winter of 2011.  Black & white tends to leave the photo with much more power. 



..all in all, solitude means survivor.  outcast, I think not.  Powerful stance of  Mother Nature...alone, cradled in arms of comfort.  - Ann McArthur 7/12/13
