Beach Leaves in Sunlight
Holly, Ontario - 2006

One of the first shots I took with a digital camera and perhaps the shot that made me fall in love with photography again. I'd often spotted little beach trees in the depths of the many forests owned by Simcoe County. I was fascinated by the way light shimmered on their leaves in the darkness of a pine forest. The dark tracery of the branches and the shadows on the snow add to the overall richness of the tonal and textural range.
