Light Green of Early Spring / by Todd Henson

Light Green of Early Spring

Last time I shared some views of the trail we hiked in early spring and how soft and light the world looked with leaves just beginning to grow on otherwise bare trees. This week I wanted to take a closer look at those new leaves. This closeup of one small cluster of small leaves shows how light the fresh greenery can be, and even how quickly it darkens. Notice the just barely older lower leaves, slightly out of focus, are darker than the younger ones on top, fully in focus. Every season has beauty within it, and this is an example of that in spring.
