the base of a tree in february



such a simple image - the base of a tree. i went for a walk through the woods and saw that the snow is melting back and the autumn leaves -frozen for months beneath the snowpack - are returning to provide luscious shades of rust-brown and tarnished gold to to these colour-deprived eyes!

"Color-deprived eyes" ... that's about how I remember it!

it's amazing how even the slightest hint of colour in the landscape captures my eyes. a hint of rust red in the winter-dried sumac. the pale yellow of autumn leaves in a winter wood. the shocking emerald green of still-frozen grass emerging from under the snow pack.
