The Dance

Photo taken by contributor Annie, a woman living and coping with depression, PTSD, anxiety and a myriad of disorders. Annie lives with her cat, Zoe, and enjoys drawing, reading and walking in the months that her surrounding landscape permits.

About this photo: “This photo was taken on a hike. As my friend and I came around a corner, everywhere you could see there were Phlox in shades of purple and pink and white ones too. And the trees were dancing amidst them.

I have been dealing with deep depression and being amongst trees in this beautiful place, lifted me out, and I am hoping this will last. It was an afternoon I will remember.”
