Backstory

I am a weather junkie.  I love spring, summer, fall, and winter.  Especially winter.  Bare trees get me going and while others are thinking about spring and rebirth, I love seeing the structures of the trees that are hidden by their summer leaves.  The shapes, twists, colors — especially after a rain when the wood turns darker and the earthy colors come in trunks and branches come alive.
