Afternoon Window

Wake County, North Carolina Nov 2017

The forest and ravine I wrote about yesterday are, literally, my window. Today and tomorrow’s presentation are illuminated by the the cool, diffuse light of overcast and rain.

The copper colored leaves of this mature American Beech are like gems, set against a field of rich, new, green, immature versions. And provide a proscenium for a pair of Grey Squirrels, in a frantic arboreal chase.

This is a photograph made long ago. I made it, thinking of dancers.

Trust me on the green.
