A tree growing back it’s leaves in early spring

Photographer's Statement:

In the winter, this tree lost it’s leaves, but in the spring, they grew back because it was finally a good temperature, and had all the sunlight and water it needed to regrow. There are little buds blooming on the tree, adding new color and regrowing into a beautiful work of art to represent the change that spring brings.
