Photographer's Statement:

The Dynamics of Idaho’s Forests means life. The different seasons of Idaho show the beautiful rhythm of how seasons change greatly but everything still has life to it. Flowers blooming show me that things can still grow even after the coldest, harshest winters. A flower blooming can be a sign of new life and new beginnings that will always grow into something beautiful.
