My favorite place to be is on a trail at sunrise. I love the quietude of early morning, watching the sun peek over the horizon, and knowing this is something I can count on. The sun will rise. When life is hard, I find this comforting.

 

During Covid, I posted photos from my morning adventures on social media with just the words #goodmorning in hope it may brighten someone's day. I received feedback that it did so I continued and have since created prints, greeting cards and a calendar with several of those images.

 

Disclaimer: I’m not a professional photographer. I’m a trail running/hiking fanatic with an iPhone in my pocket. My objective is to capture and share a snippet of the beauty of our mountain environment.

​Before each journey, I say a little prayer to the animals and ancestors of the land and ask their permission to pass through. I pledge to be a good steward of the land and invite you to join me in preserving and protecting our wild places.
