Looking at the new shoes I suddenly noticed how worn out my old ones were. I was torn between letting go of my old shoes that had gotten me through so much and trying the new ones on, but I knew, while standing firmly in the more comfortable shoes, that it was time to trust a new pair.

The picturesque mountainscape had become a wonderful excuse for a long nature hike miles away from any road flooded with cars. I did my best to capture all of the beauty that I had seen that day inside the digital folders of my camera.
