smiling aspen

A little snow really brings out the beauty in this aspen’s face. The mind’s eagerness to find faces in nature’s patterns is well known and hard to resist in a forest full of tree people.

Now half grown, one of this year’s babies captured as snow fell this morning. It was moving across the hillside with a group of does and young mule deer in a world gone white when I stepped out to make a few images. They stopped to nibble the trees, shrubs, and tall penstemon seed heads around my home before moving on into the trees and out of sight.

This buck’s going to tomorrow’s show in Buffalo Creek as a 12 x8 inch print matted to 12 x 16″. He wandered by earlier this week (before our big snow) with two does. His antlers still have bits of velvet hanging in strings. By next week’s show in Conifer, I plan to have him in a frame.
A few of my long exposure fireworks captures from the 4th. A little late, I know, but I had a show on the 5th and forgot all about posting these until I saw a friend’s fireworks images today on facebook.
