COVID-19 NOT ALL DOOM AND GLOOM. BEAUTY IN IT

The covid-19 2020 tree

My wife and I were treated/blessed with a week holiday at a trout fishing farm in Mpumalanga - and that was a blessing.

As I was walking around and looking at the plants and wondering about it and the old historic relics of erstwhile people living there, I was taking photos at random. And I took a photo of the original covid-19 2020 tree below:

As I was walking away from this tree, the thought struck me that it is tangled and "confused." And the next thought struck, and the next and the next. And I got really excited about this photograph. 

And I started playing with my camera very limited editing tools and it stimulated more ideas - all about the very strenuous 2020. I deliberately chose not to be pessimistic about it; hard times, yes, but pessimistic and doom and gloom? No. 

And I thought about a friend of mine and his pattern making with photography. Last night I made this pattern from the original covid-19 2020 tree. 

I hope that you have enjoyed it and inspired you to be positive and to pray.
