the picture that got away..

Yesterday after I took the snow pictures, I drove on through the park toward home. Rounding a bend I saw a pool of green in the snow, a couple hundred feet off the road. I pulled off at the nearest place I could find and walked 1000 feet back to the spot. An old part of the river channel still filled with spring flooding already had a pale green skim of slime that shown against the surrounding snow. The upright branches poking through the water were also covered with snow. I aimed my shot and it turned out that the battery of my take everywhere camera died on the last shots I took ten minuets before.



I slogged back early this afternoon and the spring sun had done it's work; not sure if it was all worth the effort but I did it.

Mother Earth wasn't ready for her close up until you returned... this is the image we were meant to see. It's green and lovely and full of life. Thank you.
