A Touch of Hope

Beautiful bright berries! Say that 10 times fast! I saw these berries shouting out from a tree on the beach in Rochester on Thanksgiving Day. This year has been a tough one with a lot of loss in our family and the holidays just remind us of all of those empty seats at the table. I went for a walk early in the day to bust up the gloomy and found that it wasn't such a hard day after all. This picture reminds me that amid the thorns there can be something beautiful and to never let hope be lost.
