Trees

This is a quite spot on a country road in western mass. Although the limbs are only slightly moving in the wind, they looked like arms splayed in tandem as a pose. What to do? The ferns were a different shade of green (perfect), seemed like a shag carpet. By the rules the shot should have been a vertical. This would have reduced the trees in size. I like the uniformity and simpleness of the image.

Fence

I like making color images that are black and white. This is easy in the winter. The yellow tension wire on the left holds the color and helps add depth to the shot. The fence has nothing to do with a boundary or confinement, it's purpose is all about winter and snow. I felt pretty lucky when we came upon this field. On this gray cold day, the fence seemed to pose.
