There is something ethereal about a stand of trees without leaves...maybe the force of this lies in the uncertainty...that not everything will survive while some will find their way. Thanks for the focus, Tim.

I learned on Noah Kahan's episode of the Song Exploder podcast that in Vermont, this time of year--the interval after the leaves have fallen from the trees but before the snow--if called stick season. (Although his song of that name isn't exactly celebrating it.)

Definitely a lot of visual interest here. I've thought that nature photography in the summer is counterintuitively unsatisfying: it seems so nice to be out, and green is good and full of life, but the sun angles and contrast between sun and shade means that most photographs of pleasant spaces are disappointing.

(Also it looks like there's something wrong with one image? At least I'm getting a missing image icon at the top of the text.)

"Stick season" is a great name.

Will check the image on another browser soon--it seems ok here but I did notice an odd glitch while composing.
