Emergence '08
The spring melt is underway! The scenery is blah at this time of year but getting really close with a macro lens reveals a magical micro landscape where last year’s plant life is released from the crystalline, shrinking remains of the snow that has preserved it in all its delicate forms. I am enjoying the flexibility my new SLR provides for this sort of photography, including the shallow depth-of-field I chose for this photo. It will be hard to access subjects for the next couple of weeks, though, as there are now too many bare patches on the trails for snowshoeing but still too much soft, deep snow for walking. This part of the season always frustrates me.
