Reeds

For Frank’s photo challenge this week, he has asked us to use something ‘quotidian’ that could also represent a change from old to new. I have chosen these photos of common reeds by a lake I often walk.

As a plant, not only does the reed regenerate itself from old to new in a continuous cycle, but it bends with the breeze and is flexible to the conditions around it.

After enduring a taxing 2017, I have been much like a reed – bending and folding myself as I tackled the troubles head on…but never breaking (although I came really close a couple of times!)

Let’s hope 2018 is a little easier. Happy New Year folks…may the reeds be still for a while!
