Photographer's Statement:

To me, this title emphasizes the importance of capturing the special and serene beauty of Idaho’s forests over the course of all the seasons. This photo captures the calm transitional period between the winter and spring when the sky is occasionally blue and the moss and flowers on the trees begin to bloom.
