The Life of Spring

Photographer's Statement:

The nature and life in Idaho is especially unique since the different seasons express such different personalities and ideas of beauty. Using photography you can capture memories from both the glowing wonders of winter to the vibrant colors of spring and look back on it when you are in fall. For this project, I photographed a yellow flower coming to life as the beginning of spring starts.
