Tree of Sorrow...

December has been a very odd month for a multitude of reasons. The main one is that people are dropping like flies around here. Just at work we have had three deaths. The one that hit closest to home was when a co-workers' 22 year old daughter was hit head-on by a suspected drunk driver. We had one airman allegedly kill myself. Another NCO was hit by a car while he was walking after parting too much. And there are various people who have family members who have terminal cancer and have been given a very short amount of time to live. So the entire atmosphere at work has been very somber. I couldn't bring myself to go to the funeral for the one girl and though it sounded like a wonderful service it is just too tragic.

Kris had pointed out this tree when we were coming back from our shoot and it seemed to capture the mood of at least the day.
