The landscape constantly changes. Grasses turn from brown to green to gold and back to brown. Flowers bloom and fade. Trees sprout leaves in electric greens, then turn to the darker green of summer before turning beautiful warm tones in fall. The winter landscape is no different. I had driven by this area several times this winter and the foreground hadn’t developed into much more than a divot in snow. But as more snow fell and the winds blew, the frozen creek became an intricate pattern of detail and light and on this morning, with the fog and first light, the scene was stunning. As the winter progresses I’m interested to see how this location will continue to evolve.
