Canyon Dancer
I was walking along the Virgin River in Zion when this cottonwood caught my eye. It stood out from all the other trees, almost glowing with yellow leaves against the deep reds of the canyon walls. The way its branches reached and twisted felt like a dance – hence the name I gave it. There’s something about these trees that feels ancient and resilient, thriving in such a dramatic landscape. I spent some time just observing how the light filtered through the leaves, highlighting different textures and shades. It was one of those quiet moments where you feel connected to the place.
