19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Mobile
A Colorado Fall

This photo was taken in October 2021, in the mountains near Cripple Creek, Colorado. It is from my super secret fall hike that I go on every year! It was gorgeous to see the golden Aspen leaves along with a first snow of the season. The blending of two seasons shown in one photo symbolize my journey...that it's alright to enjoy new things while still embracing the old. What a beautiful story that can be.
