Great Smoky Mountains N.P., 2016

On this foggy morning in the Smokies, the forest was quiet except for the steady murmur of this small cascade. What caught my eye wasn’t just the water or the rocks—it was the pair of leaning trees in the foreground, almost as if one was supporting the other. There was something deeply human in their posture, something about companionship and quiet resilience. I titled this image Lean on Me because it felt like a visual metaphor for how we get through life—weathered, rooted, and better together.
