Description Edit: We sometimes forget just how very strong and powerful the elements of nature can be! And because of this very important aspect of nature, it is another reason to be careful with nature, and be respectful of nature.
This is for a contest being held by #Realistic-or-random called:
"Fire and Ice"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~


This is dedicated to my very good friend Angie for her BIRTHDAY!


I am very blessed to know the strength and perseverance of many people I have met here on dA, as these qualities of theirs help me more than these friends probably even realize...

And Angie is DEFINITELY one of the MOST strong and persevering of people I've met here on dA or in my LIFE, and she is an inspiration to me!

When I took this image for her, to save and work on further for her B-Day, it just reminded me of her continuing strength and perseverance through her ongoing struggles to get things back to some semblance of order for her family, especially since the storm disaster in December, that took her home--

She just continues to PUSH through the heavy burdens, and PUSH on, and break through all of the things that need to be done, persevering all the while, day by day... until she does get through to the OTHER SIDE!

I wish her continued strength and perseverance at this time!


In December we were exchanging wishes of "Hope" and wishes of "The Beauty of Change" as we were near the beginning of various transitions...

And now it is time to carry on and persevere....

Angie is a TRUE TREASURE, her own SELF, and I have had the pleasure and privilege to see one of the many treasures that she makes, in person,
[through a rare Gift Exchange... ]
and I never knew it could be even MORE beautiful, but I now have this piece in person:
[link]
PLEASE, go see it! I JUST LOVE IT!
I am still so amazed that I have this GORGEOUS piece in person; it means the world to me.

ANYONE would LOVE to have Angie's work in real life. I can attest to the truly stunning talent that Angie is, as a professional Artist! Please feel free to inquire about her work, and her other website that shows it, as anyone would adore having a work or more of her art, as it is so worth it on many levels, believe me- and if you could, it would even help Angie of course!

Here is more of Angie's awesome work in a feature:




Excerpt from:
Break on Through [to the Other Side]
by The Doors
Made the scene
Week to week
Day to day
Hour to hour
The gate is straight
Deep and wide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through
Break on through
Break on through
Break on through
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[... the interpretation may not be there, but i can't help but see this image and at least think of the chorus... ya know? ]

Dearest Angie,
I may have already said it all...
But I cannot say enough how strong and persevering you truly are, and how much I wish you more of this now for your BIRTHDAY, and in the coming year!
And, I wish you ALL KINDS of goodness, for all the goodness that YOU are and create. I cannot say enough, how much I want things to be okay AND better than okay for you and your family! sigh...

Your Friend, Tea

[NOTE: I just wanted to say, in advance, how especially grateful for anyone's I may receive for this image. I am honoured that you would enjoy or think well enough of my work here, to it. So I thank you profusely, and from the bottom of my heart . And because I do realize time constraints all too well, I understand, if you are unable to also leave a comment. However, whichever you may do, [or even both! ] I genuinely appreciate it beyond measure. I need you to know this now, in case I'm not capable of doing individual thank-you's for 's, which I've not been capable, or in case I cannot respond to each comment, either. Thanks for understanding.
And even if you just came to view! I am also very HAPPY for this! ]

My immediate impression was that the rock had somehow come up from underneath the ice and punched its way to the surface.

Neat picture! And good choice to vignette it slightly.

Hi Dana, and thank you so much!
She is a sweetheart, you are right!
I keep pullin' for her, since this is one long road for her to go through in losing a home like this.
Thanks for adding your wishes.

Hi Brian, and thank you so much!
I am hoping she'll gain something from it, when she has a chance to view it. She has very much limited internet access time, since this has happened to her.

Thanks for all the well-wishes!

She really is one!
And she is still having much to go through, to get through these difficulties, but destruction of a home due to natural disaster will do that to you.

She really is an incredible artist, thanks!

Thanks! It's a bit different, as the subject matter was a strange occurrence in the ice. Fun to photograph, though.
Thanks again!
