New Camera

First spring with my new camera. I upgraded my kit last year, for the first time since 2005. I love having this tool that inspires me to pay closer attention to how these brilliant plants emerge from the forest floor.

The forest is an immense ballet. Each plant is a dancer in an extraordinarily complex performance choreographed by the sun. Each individual’s role appears agonizingly slow to us, unfolding over days, weeks, years (for trees) — but to them it’s the ordinary pace of life.
