There were many different things that inspired me to create this photo. First of all, the day this photo was taken was the first warm day after the cold three months of snow storms. All of the snow had finally melted, and the colors in the plants were bright and vibrant. This tree particularly drew my attention. Its bark was colorful, and had a cool texture and pattern to it. I felt like spring was truly here, and I could express myself fully, so I decided I was going to take photos of what I saw. I loved this photo the most, and loved the depth of field, and details it showed, so I chose to enter it into this contest.
