The Photograph
On a very cold day in March 2020, I was fortunate to be in the Valley just as the sun rose above the Valley Wall. And there, in a solitary meadow, I found this grand blue oak tree. Standing almost in defiance of the cold of the late Winter air. There it was, singular, in a meadow, standing proud and in all its glory in the shadow as it was yet to be kissed by the shining light of the suns light. The meadow was frost covered and the air was frigid and still, the Valley empty of all but me and a few deer. It truly was a peaceful setting. A time where one could feel the pulse of this grand thing we call Mother Nature.
