Winter in the Tetons
Winter photography: Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Winter in the Grand Tetons is not just cold; it is one of the most pristine, quiet, and spiritual times to enjoy the rugged landscape. The crowds of summer are a mere memory. The mountains stand taller; the lakes are frozen over. Storms move in sudden and vacate just the same. The setting inspires intimate landscape photography–the intimate kind that only a Wyoming winter storm can create.
When times are tough, you can barely see your way forward. But trust that those times will pass.
During the stormy moments, we lack visibility to the future. But even when times are good, do we really see everything in our path? We see enough.
After every storm, there are moments of clarity and beauty like a burst of setting sun on the mountain peaks that we glean from our traumas.
Close enough, but still far away. Depending on how you view this, you see mountains, or you see the forest. Or maybe you see both.
Your sense of humor is your mind's immune system.
Our emotions move back and forth, like trees on a hillside. It is human to feel them all.
You are unique. Yet you are like everyone else. Appreciate both sides of yourself.
After the storm, there is a time of settling in, of calm. Let your mind drift to all the things that bring you peace.
Does beauty require perfection? All that you are is perfect already. Battle scars have stories, and stories hold our interest.
Share a moment with someone else. No words need to be exchanged. Just your presence is all that is needed.
When circumstances take a turn for the worse, still seek out what is precious in that moment. Salvage what you can when you realize your thoughts are shifting.
