    (sigh) I don’t have PTSD, Elaine, but I’m beginning to feel that way whenever I drive in Atlanta each year. I think if I DID have PTSD, I’d swear off driving there forever! In the meantime, be careful!!!

      well, gilles is driving, i’m too scared to drive now… but gilles is a road rager and it scares me so much how aggressive he is, my mind races with scenes of possible car accidents the whole while!

        hahahaha!!! oh my gosh, that’s funny!! however, it was years ago that I first started overcoming my fears of posting blurry photos, they were unheard of! now i see them in more and more places, and figure I will have to come up with another way to rebel soon lol

    What’s so risky about it – when you get such lovely image as this? We always talk about taking risk in the creative work. I guess this elevates it to a different level…

    I have ptsd regarding forest fires. I thought I was over it until I started talking about them while getting my blood pressure taken in hospital. It suddenly shot up.

    A blurred and beautiful photo. Why? Because it opens new roads to beauty. Just as simple as that πŸ˜‰
