My original plan was to take a quick walk to the edge of the woods, shoot a placeholder pic to remember the snow before it melted, then head home, grab some breakfast and settle in for Orion’s splashdown. It’s a space nerd thing.
My brain had other plans, though, because the moment the forest came into view, one photo became many, and before I knew it I was climbing down the path into the valley.
I slowly picked my way along the white trail, listening to the near-silence of the flowing creek by my feet and the whispering winds in the bare trees high overhead.
I didn’t have much of a plan beyond composing images here and there as the ideas popped into my head. But I soon found myself enjoying the empty moments in between photo opps, and I was here less to capture moments than reflect on them.
It had been a while before I turned it all off and just soaked in the place around me, and I realized this kind of thing is infinitely good for my soul.
I won’t wait for a snowy morning before my next aimless wander. Because what it looks like matters far less than the mere fact that I get out here at all.
