Look at you
in Canyon De Chelly, 1986
You liked that tree
And asked me to take this picture
It was a trip of discovery
We went with an idea in mind
Of the places we would visit
And it became so much more
This canyon and Walnut Creek Canyon
And Oak Creek Canyon
And even Sedona, which wasn’t a “thing” at the time
This was a reverse honeymoon
As we didn’t have plans to marry
But then we did four months later
After Scott barely survived a motorcycle accident
Everything about life takes twists and turns
Accidents and recommendations
Then encountering a tree
And photographing the moment.
I love this picture and your poem. He is beaming. Im sure he was happy to be with you. It seems he asked you to photo document him grounding himself; trees have that power. And shortly thereafter you grounded each other for many years. 🥰
