Photographer's Statement:

The Dynamics of Idaho’s Forests means to me that Idaho has a very diverse climate. It means to me that while in Idaho you can find a flat desert even with sand dunes in them. However, you can also find rainforests and snowy forested mountains. My photo relates to the theme because it shows a bunch of wet snowed on rocks and dead plants getting exposed to the sun and the Springtime, making the snow melt.
