Photographer's Statement:

To me, this title emphasizes the beauty and uniqueness of how Idaho’s forests transform throughout the 4 seasons. Boise is known as the “City of Trees”, so highlighting its significance through photographs gives the artist so much room to explore and interpret the theme through their own artistic expression. My photo relates to this theme because it highlights the radiant transition from winter to spring by capturing a single leaf.
