My first photograph of the new year, 2017. Two doves in winter on an empty flower pot under a gray sky. The image of doves and their symbolic representation of peace and love seemed like a timely message.
These are scary times and humanity is faced with big challenges. Here in America we have a new president who rode a wave of populist hate, fear and stunning ignorance into power. This could be cause for despair, but these doves huddled against the cold reminded me not to lose hope. There are still plenty of good people who aspire to create a better world for their children. If we stay true to our values and strong in our convictions we can, and will, prevail over the hate and division that has temporarily gripped us.
Happy New Year. Let’s be the reason it’s a good one.
