Such is New England weather: on Monday, we had a foot of snow; on Tuesday and Wednesday, temps were in the single digits and we were loading up the woodstove; today, we were hiking in shirt sleeves. No signs of green yet on the Sleeping Giant, where we skidded through patches of snow and jumped across rivulets of meltwater...but here and there were beech trees with last year's paper leaves still clinging to the branches. They were the only hint of color in a late winter landscape. The Photocopy filter outlined the veins and lit up the leaf.

  2. Pretty and delicate - amazing that it's survived a winter of cold, snow and winds. Nice photo and interesting to see how the processsing changes it.
