Week 2 Inspiration Chloe

This weekend we went to hike in San Bernardino National Forest. I was shocked to find the "forest" was actually just more dessert. We found this creek running through the dessert, trees seeking refuge on either side, light glimmering through the leaves. You can't tell in this photo, but the quality of light changes depending on where you look. Through the trees is a brilliant emerald, the water reflects silvery, and sparkling, and the edges of the river become a beautiful, light blue. This was the first time in Southern California where I couldn't hear cars. Nature overwhelmed every sense. The texture and quality of light was different everywhere you looked, everything felt open to possibility and incredibly peaceful.
