The colors of winter.


The Blue Ridge Parkway near Mt. Mitchell.

From my walk tonight.

Nothing quite as restless as stick season as I’ve come to learn the hard way. I don’t think I could’ve made it through another winter like this. I’m back to being a visitor again - for the better.


Thinking about Pisgah.

Along the Balsam Trail at the top of Mt. Mitchell, I captured something - an elder of the trees laid to rest.


The beautiful decay of the forest floor, regenerating into new life.


More photos from the Balsam Trail. Mount Mitchell, NC. The magic of Appalachian summers.

Through the thick of it in the Black Mountains of North Carolina.

What’s my fantasy? Disappearing in the forest and becoming one with the old growth.
