Aspen Sunlight

Sawatch Range, Colorado

California › Central Coast (Winter/Spring)

Sometimes the greatest blessings come in the simplest ways...

Late afternoon sunlight shines through a small aspen grove.

This is my favorite shot of my favorite type of tree ever. I had just spent a good chunk of my afternoon looking for some angles of the aspen in the area near Cottonwood Pass, but came up empty.

After returning to camp (I was at a staff retreat at Spring Canyon Retreat Center), I was headed to my room to put away my photography gear when I walked through a small aspen grove. I stopped, looked up at the trees, noticed the sun was about to drop below the ridge in the distance, and I thought, “wait a second…”

Sometimes the greatest blessings come in the simplest ways.
