In this serene photograph, my mother gazes out into the picturesque landscape of Big Cottonwood, which has just been refreshed by a gentle rain shower. The tranquil post-rain atmosphere adds a sense of tranquility to the scene. In her hands, she holds a coiled rope, a testament to the memorable climbing adventure that has just concluded.

The image captures a moment of reflection and contentment after a satisfying day of climbing. As the earth glistens with raindrops and the scent of damp earth fills the air, it's a peaceful reminder of the serenity that nature can provide.
