A Moment of Beauty

Carolyn Justin Baer took this photograph of Lake Tahoe, where she lived with her husband Bob.   Justin's family selected  this photo for her obituary after she died of triple-negative breast cancer March 21, 2013.    I considered Justin a friend, even though I had never met her, and  I wrote about our friendship for Psychology Today.  But I had not known, until I saw this photograph, that she was such a talented artist.  This amazing shot is a memory of a moment in time, of the beauty that Justin saw and captured, the beauty she left behind with us.  (See more of Justin's remarkable work here.)
