Memories

I have recently across some pictures that I took when I was living in Colorado. The photos that got my attention were from February 2016 and it is interesting to see what views prompted a photo then and years later to see how they moved me now. At that time, I was still dealing with the end of my 14-year relationship four months prior. I made a conscious decision that I was going to start walking more so I could continue to be active and redirect and try to control all the emotions I was dealing with and learn to adjust to being alone.

This particular day, I ventured out to the Silverthorne Outlets and started on the bike path that was located behind the buildings. I was just walking and taking in the cold fresh air and trying to quiet my mind. I realized the scenery that grabbed my attention I probably had not noticed before or just had not taken the time to see before. I have never been drawn to photography as a hobby but at this moment I just let my camera take over and went on an impulse.

What is interesting is that these photos came up in my OneDrive memories from this date 2-20-2016. I felt a sense of awe all over again as I remember when I lived in Summit County Colorado and the beauty that surrounded me. It also brought a renewed sense of appreciation for where I was at that time physically, mentally, and spiritually. I have come a very long way, baby!
