It stopped raining long enough yesterday for Deb and me to venture out into the Wisconsin countryside just west of Merrill, WI, where the Council Grounds State Park campground is located. My goal was to photograph trees, of which there are many shapes and varieties.
We generally think in terms of “fall” colors but as we drove east across this beautiful state yesterday morning, it was evident that “spring” colors get short shrift*. They are plentiful and, after many weeks of generally colorless landscapes in our part of the USA, are much appreciated.
Though this photo doesn’t necessarily illustrate this, spring is a great time to photograph trees because you get the best of what a tree offers: you get the structure, including the trunk, the bark and the lines and textures of the branches. But you also get a touch of nascent color.
I mentioned a couple days ago that black and white photos reveal lines and textures. But in a photo like this color is essential. Color is life. It is affirmation. And, in spring, the color of budding leaves is the color of Hope.
