Moments in time // Lost in snow

Some days we just need to be out. Out in the fresh snow that just appeared, silently falling the night before.
.
As the snow continues falling throughout the day I go up the mountains for a short smooth day to hike by myself.
.
Here, taking this shot, looking at these gracious creatures in the soft cold weather I’m still on the road. I don’t know that soon I’ll be lost, lost of where my trail goes next, lost while looking at my printed maps and trying to figure google maps out.
.
It will get dark and the trail signs will be difficult to read in the forest. But I will get back on that trail and I will gain my breath back and the sounds around - and in my head - will get calm and quiet again.
.
And then I will see the moon shining above, and it won’t get any darker as the snow shines beaming white, and there will be quiet and only the sound of my steps in the snow.

Love, Hanna
