Stands Still

Morning light peers at ferns through a thin layer of distant fog on the Bells Mountain Trail in Southwest Washington, USA.

Nature in general, and more specifically nature photography, takes me away. Time moves at a different pace, and I’m just one small human lost in the grandeur of it all.

I often have wandered, in deep contemplation
It seems that the mind runs wild, when you’re all alone
The way that it could be
The way that it should be
Things I’d do differently, if I could do them again
(From John Denver’s Whispering Jess)
