ImageDescription: I headed to Yosemite National Park to teach a private "Spring" workshop in Yosemite and instead was greeted by a freak storm that covered the park in fresh beautiful snow. As we wandered around one of the parks many meadows I noticed this scene and was drawn to the vertical elements and the distant granite peak barely visible in the background.As I look at the image now I'm drawn to the young tree just starting it's life and eagerer to reach the heights of it's neighbors. All the while the eons old granite peak sits in the distance watching the cycle of life unfold. Nikon D7000Nikon 18-200mm VRIIMinor tonal work in Photoshop CS5 ;
