When we were at the zoo earlier this month, I spent quite a while just watching her. I'm calling her "her" because she acted like she had the story of a strong but sad woman. She was all alone, standing in one spot near the water... She shouldn't have been alone... and I don't think she wanted to be. But, she was and there was nothing she could do about it but stand there and wait. I wonder what she was waiting for... Her family? Her freedom? Does she even know another life? And was she dreaming of it?
The more I looked at this picture this morning, I realized how it looks as though she is trying to blend into the rocks behind her as if to say, "This life does not matter... I am not here."
And I hope that, wherever her dreams take her, may that life be everything she wants it to be...
She does look tired and sad, what an emotive shot,
@dauber - Thank you for the compliments and different perspective. I'd like to think it's true, too. :)
