I found this scene while going for an early spring run
through the arboretum last year. The paths were un-groomed and still full of
snow so it was tough going. I was running with a couple of other people and we
kept up a pace that made it seem a little like a roller coaster ride with the
uneven ground and stray branches brushing our faces. We hit a clear and a short
wooden bridge and I put on the brakes. To the left the woods opened up to a
pond area. Although it was cold, there was a warmth and sparkle in the scene.
It seemed surprising for the water to be open with a few ducks swimming. I
guess spring really was coming! The lasting memory was one of shimmering light
and hopeful color. This is my third attempt to recreate the vision. I think I
got it right.
