Unexpected grew from the rare sight of heavy snow on Arizona’s Superstition Mountains in early spring—a landscape I knew well suddenly changed by an event that simply does not happen often there. The snow softened the rugged forms of the mountains while cool light and shifting color moved across the desert below. I was drawn to that contrast between the harsh structure of the Superstitions and the temporary quiet created by the snow. The title reflects the experience itself: a familiar place interrupted by something completely out of the ordinary, creating a moment that felt both fleeting and unforgettable.
