CONTRIBUTORS

JOE MILLER / WRITER Miller is an outdoor writer and guide in Hillsborough. He wrote a weekly outdoor column for The News & Observer for a decade and now writes for various online sites, including GetGoingNC.com. He is the author of six books on the outdoors. “Every year around the first of February, I start seeking signs of spring in the woods. I know the season is near when I spot my first spring beauty or trout lily.”

S.P. MURRAY /

PHOTOGRAPHER S.P. Murray is a national awardwinning photojournalist. She welcomed the opportunity to photograph this month’s feature, Hope Springs. “What I wanted to do was weave together quiet moments that people could universally respond to in a positive, uplifting way. These small moments of grace and beauty assure us that the promise of spring, and better things, is just around the corner.”

MAMIE POTTER & SARAH

GODDIN / WRITERS Sarah Goddin and Mamie Potter work for Quail Ridge Books in Raleigh. “We are optimistic that very soon — though our smiles might still be hidden and our voices muffled by masks — people will be able to gather and enjoy time with each other once again. Putting together this list of books, we were reassured that we can find hope while we wait.”

JACLYN MORGAN /

PHOTOGRAPHER In her fourth assignment for WALTER, this Greenville-based family and wedding photographer documented an afternoon with Carolyn Booth at her home in Cary. “It was a joy to spend time with Carolyn and Dick. We even made a personal connection: they just so happen to know my grandparents very well. Carolyn and Dick were full of stories and laughter — and all the gardening tips!” More of Jaclyn’s work can be found online at jaclynmorganphotography.com.
