Almost every photo triggers and memory, or a story. When I travel I take lots of photos, I come home and sort them, and some stand out. But many are just there. I find as I go back through them weeks, months or years later the memories and the stories are triggered. This photo was pulled at absolutely at random from a list of over 60,000. It was taken shortly after the first snow of 2022. It was a heavy wet snow, that brought down a lot of branches and trees. This one was taken near home, as the eagle flies only a mile away near the river. This is the entrance to the Dike Marsh trail, I have walked there hundreds of times in the past couple of years. My estimate would be that 33% maybe more of the trees along the trail lost major limbs in that storm, a couple of dozen trees were toppled. I walked the trail that day.
This image triggers that memory, and all of the stories related to my time on that trail. We should all take more photos, trigger more memories, tell more stories.
