Three years ago I made my first trip to Oregon where I hiked through Opal Creek Wilderness. The trail there is incredibly lush, with mossy halls and nurse logs for days. In fact, that is where I learned what nurse logs were – a fallen tree that, as it decays, provides shelter and nutrients to seedlings. That struck a cord for me. Ever since then, nurse logs have made me smile when I stumbled upon them. We all need help and protection somewhere along the way to help us thrive, and there is something heartwarming about the idea of the younger generations building upon the foundations of the generation before them in the hopes of growing to greater heights. It’s a great metaphor for our own lives, and reminds me to appreciate all of the help I’ve had along the way in my own journey.
I have so much gratitude for all of the support that every one of you have given to me. I’ve been fortunate enough to have some incredible mentors and photography friends who encourage me to be my best, and I feel motivated to work harder by all of your kind words, referrals for work, print purchases, etc. You guys keep me reaching for new heights and I cannot thank you enough for your support over the years!
