Springing to Life

The image is a close-up of a vibrant green leaf with water droplets. Various sizes of droplets are spread across the surface of the leaf, with some larger droplets concentrated near the center. The background is dark, providing a contrasting backdrop that enhances the details of the leaf and the water droplets. This photo was made in a small break in the rains on a stormy spring day.

As an entry into the "Art Of Green" Open Call, I reflected on what the color green means for me. Green evokes nature, the smell of fresh air, and the new beginnings of spring. This image, made after an intense spring storm shares the story of perseverance of nature. After what we may experience as a threat, a violent storm, nature thrives. Through the challenges, nature becomes more abundant and of course, green.
