Spring Green


That first flash of green appears here in trees alongside M-25 on Huron County's eastern shore. The breaking color, spring green, casts a yellow glow as buds open and leaves unfold. The gray trees still budded, but not in leaf, the green grass, and intense blue sky give this image a painterly quality.

This composition, these colors, exist for only a day or two. Then the leaves emerge, colors deepen and summer shades overtake the hues of spring.
