I'll be ok but just kind of in survival mode...right now

She happens to be an "Extreme Green Heron Fan" and I'm sure she would love to see your pics of them.... Make sure you mention her so sees them and let's try #ExtremeGreenHeronFan to go along with the picture.

MEMORIAL BRIDGE
1923 - 2012
The first no toll bridge to span the Piscataqua River between Portsmouth, NH and Kittery, ME.
A plaque over the bridge read:
"Memorial to the Sailors and Soldiers of New Hampshire who gave their lives in the World War 1917–1919."
That same plaque is now over the new bridge.

WATERFIRE
WaterFire is a sculpture by Barnaby Evans presented on the rivers of downtown Providence, RI. Created in 1994 it has since become a free public art installation. WaterFire's symbolism and interpretation reflects on the recognition that individuals must act together to strengthen and preserve their community.

** Moving to pinned post from profile **
Developed Complex-PTSD / PTSD after many years as a Paramedic in the inner city... Been shot at many times, pepper sprayed, tear gassed, assaulted.... Not to count the hundreds if not thousands of cases of despair and violence I saw
Struggle every day to just function.... Some days I get by.... Others I don't.
#NaturePhotography = My Peace
PRECISION FLIGHT
I'll ease out of my #Solitude run and go with a #Duet of US Navy Blue Angels 5 & 6 ...and what a dance they do. A shot from them flying by me.

HEART OF STONE
The last few weeks have been a struggle for me and one of my coping mechanisms has been always been AVOID, AVOID, AVOID so that explains my little #Solitude theme.....so here's one more...
This is one of my favorites that I've taken.

ALONE
Former Paramedic here... Not my ambulance...Before my time but similar in so many ways...
OLD
They just started using gloves on ambulances when I started
STORIES
The good, the bad, the ugly, and then some
OUT OF SERVICE
Me Too
THE HORRORS
Unspeakable....But "suck it up we've got another"
THE LONELINESS
Out of the EMS field...Old crews drift apart, move on, retire or pass away. They were the support network you never realized you had
ALONE & BEYOND REPAIR
One thing that has always helped my #CPTSD symptoms was getting out in nature with my camera. One of the worst and probably most frustrating things #CPTSD did to me was cause cognitive issues so some days I can't even remember how to use my camera. I've used #Canon for 30+ years with essentially same controls but look at it and can't even turn it on. So when I have good days I take advantage of it.
