22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A Frosted Tweed of Pines
Winding through Colorado on a road trip, captivated by the towering 14ers and breathtaking vistas, I stumbled upon a quiet masterpiece, a pattern in nature that called to mind the woven elegance of tweed. The snowy white canvas, speckled with deep green pines, was brought to life by the afternoon sun, casting long shadows that completed the scene like delicate brushstrokes. It made me reflect on the quiet beauty woven into our everyday lives, the simple wonders often overlooked in our hurried moments.
