Enchanted Passage

Location: Redwoods National Park

This was the second time my wife and I visited this park. The first was near the beginning of my journey into nature photography—a time when I was still learning how to see through the lens. That initial walk through this trail stuck with me, not just for its beauty, but for something my wife said.

She looked around at the towering trees, lush ferns, and moss-draped branches and whispered, “This is where the fairies would live, if they were real.”

Years later, we returned—this time on an impromptu road trip to celebrate our anniversary. It wasn’t planned, but sometimes the best adventures aren’t. As we drove up the coast, we found ourselves drawn back to this trail. The forecast wasn’t promising, and sure enough, we were met with a steady downpour as soon as we arrived.

Still, we ventured in.

There’s something magical about a forest in the rain. The colors deepen, the light softens, and every leaf glistens like it’s been polished by nature itself. As we reached this small wooden bridge, the rain slowed to a drizzle, then briefly stopped. A pocket of stillness.

I set up quickly, the scene unfolding just as I remembered it—only better.

This image, Enchanted Passage, feels like a return. To where it all started. To something childlike and wonder-filled. To a place where fairies might just exist, after all.
