I think I’ve come to the conclusion that I will never again take the outdoors for granted. Of course, I've always appreciated the ability to go outside and breath in the fresh air and enjoy nature a little bit. It is one of the primary reasons I continue to live in the Pacific Northwest after all. That being said, after a few weeks of self isolation I can safely say that I am really craving an afternoon of just strolling through the woods and smelling the flowers.
This photograph was made back toward the beginning of summer while out on a hike in the Columbia River Gorge. It was one of those unmarked sort of trails that aren’t difficult to find out there and a lot of wildflowers were in full bloom. I didn’t have any color film with me which was unfortunate but I do feel like black and white was a good choice in capturing the wispy nature of the clouds that were also racing across the sky.
