'clutching To Life'

solitary tree with outstretched fingers
desiccated surroundings 
not giving up on life

HI Missy! I really like the tenacity of that tree here! Yes, sometimes we definitely have to clutch to life, no matter what-- very beautiful thought! And heehee, so you noticed that we were talking about you? Lol-- missed you here, that's why. Btw, "CTH" can also stand for Cape Town HOTTIE :D! tsss~ Mwahugs! Hope you'll have a great week!

It's so remarkable watching natures gems battle her own elements. They really do put us humans to shame. I so desire this piece to do well in the contest :) xx

Quite an image, Wilma, but the message is even more outstanding. No matter how bad things get, we should cherish every moment of life. Love, carolyn
