Pavement Trees

Last summer I started shooting concrete and parking lots and dividing lines, fading paint and patterns. Alongside my compulsive inclination to take a photo of every tree branch I see, this contrast to the natural world was a break from the norm. With all the rain this winter, my eye was drawn into the glistening cement and of course...puddles. I am fascinated how my two worlds seem to magically intersect and become one dimensional galaxies both in reflection and in print. It's almost like tree trapping ... yet transient as we know that summer is just around the corner and these accidental worlds will exist no more.

Whenever I am in need of peace I go out into the woods. Luckily for me, I live near enough the woods, I am mostly at peace. I've also been wanting one of those little moss terrariums to keep inside, but haven't made one yet. Calm for the desktop....I suppose a photo will also suffice...for those who want a little green in their lives today....here are some trees, damp moss and rain drops.
