A glimpse of Spring at Rock Creek park
On the first day of April Barbara took us to Rock Creek Park. We followed a little stream back up towards Connecticut Ave. But for a bevy of small white bell shaped flowers, Spring had not yet arrived. The Sun did, however, and provided a gradually changing view of the winter landscape.

I so like soapstone, moss and beech roots bathed in strong sidelight! This image captures something particular about the place and time, the patterns of eroded, sun/bleached roots and moss growing in water-worked fractures. I like the composition, even the surface bubbles, which also remind me of stream stress and add more tension between the beauty of the stream and the beastly pressure on its quality. Soapstone and beech share a certain light quality, while each has its own form and texture. I wonder if you noticed the way a soapstone angles into shadowed space below beech roots. I see a continuous rambling quality of the lines and angles.
