We had no idea what we'd find just beyond the trees. We stepped through the woods and met this view wide-eyed and open-mouthed. Writing this caption and looking at the panorama brought it all back and I thought, "Sometimes superlatives just don't cut it: 'An enormous field of cotton grass.'" Hahaha, how lame! Here's a case where the photo tells a story I can't begin to capture with words. Walking through this field was like a fairytale. Full stop. Photographer: Bill Eichenlaub
