“I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.
Maya Angelou, Letter to My Daughter
“On a recent wilderness hike I found myself quite lost, cold and sensing a growing panic in my gut.
I sat to collect my wits and it was then that I noticed this remarkable tree. It had somehow grown through an immovable boulder in an effort to claim its own place, its own life.
I found it an inspiring reminder about how we respond to seemingly insurmountable obstacles. And this photograph and print is the result. – Douglas

Some people think they’re between a rock and a hard place. Well… this tree shows there is life to be grabbed right in that spot! Nice, Douglas!
