Photo taken by first-time contributor Estelle Haward, a 52-year-old mother of three, and grandmother to a bunch of boys ranging from 2 months to 12 years. Estelle has battled mental health issues for most of her life. She finds that feelings, be it joy, peace, or sadness, when captured in an image last through seasons and heal the wounds of this scary and amazing life.
About this photo: “The pure joy experienced and expressed by children are a constant reminder to “be kind,” “stay pure,” and not complicate life. Just be and never be scared to live on the edge.”
