Trailside Stillness
Sometimes, the most meaningful encounters happen off the main path—in the hushed places between movement. Trailside Stillness captures those small, grounding moments where nature pauses and invites us to do the same. A squirrel with its prize, a rabbit deep in camouflage, water tracing over mossy stone, or a narrow trail disappearing into thicket—each frame is a reminder that presence doesn’t always announce itself. You just have to be still enough to see it.
To walk a trail with your camera is to practice attention. These aren’t grand vistas or staged encounters—they’re fragments of quiet life unfolding just out of view. What’s captured here isn’t just what’s seen, but what’s felt when everything else fades: the hush of leaves, the rhythm of water, the heartbeat of the woods. Stillness isn’t empty—it’s full of life, if you know how to look.
