From a morning in a place that touched me deep within my soul; Grand Teton National Park. A spot that felt special to me even before I held its beauty with my own eyes.
//
My great-grandmother told me stories of how much David Russell, my great-grandfather who I never met but who I got my middle name from, loved and cherished this park; how it was one of his favorites he had experienced in his travels as a small aircraft pilot. Listening to her describe his adoration for it, I just knew it had to be special. And special it was.

Grand Teton National Park enchanted me in a way no other park, or even place, has. There is just something about it, deep down, rooted in its core that leaves you with an indescribable feeling. One that I will forever yearn to experience again.
