Photographer's Statement:

To me, the theme Seasons of Change: The Dynamics of Idaho’s Forests illustrates the times of year when 2 seasons blend together and share their unique beauties. My photo illustrates this theme through the water droplets and white pine needles blending the seasons of winter and spring together. The water droplets symbolize spring that is filled with rain showers and the white pine needles represent the dullness and dry behavior of trees in the winter time, when blended together, create a unique beauty that shows the seasons of change in Idaho’s Forests.
