Another frame in my mental health filmstrip that run through my head in times of stress or as I am trying to fall asleep at night….

A couple years ago, we got snow in the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Blue Ridge Parkway maintenance crew cleared a stretch of road between gates. I happily went up with my SUV and got photos of (my) lifetime.

Unedited, this was the light that day on the mountain. It was quite cold in the 20s but the view is what took my breath away. In the valley, we don’t often see a lot of snow, not like I’m used to seeing when I lived in Michigan. So this was a treat!

When life feels heavy, I create what I think of as a little filmstrip in my mind as I’m drifting off to sleep. I fill it with images of beautiful or comforting things, letting them take the place of the day’s hurts and tomorrow’s worries.

Here is today’s frame in the filmstrip - a late winter capture from the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. The layers of light and the depth of field was marvelous!

With nearly every photo I make, I can recall the exact feeling of that moment. Here, it was the stillness of morning, the breathtaking sweep of the mountains, the soft light, and the scent of fresh air—all blending into a moment that eased both heart and soul. For the first time in a long while, I felt like I could truly breathe again, free from the weight I had carried into the mountains in search of refuge.
