Awake

Spring's Silhouette

After my trip to the bank this afternoon (yay!) I went searching for higher ground to capture Ashland's hills in the midst of a classic April shower afternoon. I found some, but struggled with my beginner's knowledge of exposure and how to balance light in a dramatically lit sky and a shadowed foreground. This one turned out pretty good:

After trying my hand at the hills, on my way down aptly named Mountain Avenue, I stopped in at the nature center for this shot that I spotted on my way up.

After taking this, I walked around the grounds looking for interesting subjects, but it's still a little early in the Spring for an abundance of color and life. Even so, I found this fine tree and admired it's silhouette (a word I just properly learned how to spell, thank you Google) and it is the inspiration for today's post. I hope you enjoy.

Happy Friday.
