Aspen Grove
What caught my eye here was the contrast — all those pale, linear birch trunks rising straight out of the marshy ground, and then scattered across the foreground, the bright yellow spathes of skunk cabbage pushing up through the moss and dusting of snow. It's early spring on the Olympic Peninsula, that moment when winter hasn't quite let go but the ground is already waking up. The birch create this repeating vertical rhythm across the entire panoramic frame, almost stark, and then the skunk cabbage breaks it with these small bursts of color and organic shape at your feet. The dark conifers hanging back in the middle ground add depth and weight. It's a quiet image, just the forest doing what it does when the seasons turn.
