Photographer's Statement:

The Dynamics of Idaho’s Forests means (to me) that trees will go out of season unlike in some places, where they stay in bloom all year round or they stay leafy due to climate.  My photo relates to that, because in our backyard we have trees that are still leafless, but just a street away their trees have already start leafing back up, signifying the change between spring and winter.
