Photographer's Statement:

This pine tree would pop up in the dictionary right under the word “humility”. Pines are resilient through winter, harbor tons of wildlife, and are beneficial to humans, too. These trees are such an amazing aspect to Idaho, and they have our state tree, the Western White Pine, in their family! Pines are my favorite trees because of their humble service to our environment, and much more.

Sincerely,

Abigail Snow
