"The Rock Hugger"

This tree looked like it was hanging on as tight as it could, wrapping itself around these boulders just to stay standing.

and I weren’t supposed to be here..
plans changed, grabbed the dogs, and went searching for something new.

One of my goals this year has been to create stronger woodland images,
and this felt like one of those moments worth slowing down for.

Turns out this whole area got torn up by the winter floods…
but standing there, it felt like a reminder...sometimes holding on is what keeps you standing.
