Tenacity...

Gland - Vaud (Switzerland)

A lot of people forget how important it is to be creative.
We get caught up in getting ahead and in day-to-day minutiae.
But creativity is a fundamental mode of expression, as is being tenacious and standing by our own convictions and passions, even if it's not the "popular" choice.

It seems to me, that the present times are suitable for a new opportunity of practising our creativity. We might look at the only apparent banality of little things around us with different eyes.
We have more time to observe, more time to think over.
It can help us.

We should also be tenacious and patient at once.
We should believe in our chances and stand what cannot be changed immediately.
I do what I can to find new little ideas to fill my daily virtual pages with pictures and words.

Today I pay a tribute to our old and apparently badly off cherry trees, which keeps on fighting and, surely, will give us delicious cherry also this year.

The old cherry tree is in blossom.

If it could speak it would say:

"I'm not tough. I'm tenacious."

Tenacity is rewarded and so I hope, will the tenacity of the world's population as we plow through these trying times. Gorgeous shot! V

SUPER image and narration w.r.t. of these pretty blossoms from your old tenacious cherry tree Marisa. We certainly can take a lot of solace from nature and, its beauty, wonders and tenacity.
