August 1, 2025 The Mindful Photographer Activity Chapters 11: Perseverance From Laura Frobel
I had chosen “Perseverance” in the spring and thought I’d find inspiration for photos on my vacation. Traveling through Scotland, the concept seemed to be finding me.
Also discovered that the Scottish thistle, is widely recognized as a symbol of perseverance.
I thought about how this beautiful landscape has persevered through centuries of storms and adverse conditions.
“So it is with life...we all face challenges and adversity. We are shaped by those challenges. We can let the tough stuff steal our dreams and our joy, destroying us, or we can have faith, choose to be strong and live a life filled with joy”. - Debra Joy Groesser
