I just love watching the natural world around me transform from week to week. The weather has been fucking with me a little bit the last two months bouncing from heat and sun to clouds and rain and back. The flowers, trees, and I are left riding the waves of growth and humidity. The wonderful thing is with the sun we have shade, and so even on days that could be miserable to shoot I have places to find soft light.
I've fallen in love with this tree just outside our door. One of the largest stand alone Douglas Fir's on the property the ivy and ferns beneath it give a place for the pacific blackberry to grow, and the best of it is so large it can shade nearly 8 feet of the ground. After struggling around the flowers trying to find a nice place to shoot on this sunny day Robin and I found ourselves at the base of the tree, and everything came together. Can you build a series around a single tree? I almost think I could.
Given enough time, and interpretation.
