The Photo I PLANNED on for Earth Day

I mentioned the Earth Mosaic project a while back – and expressed a little frustration that I couldn’t find something spring-like or green.  I was still happy with the photo I submitted, but that sure wasn’t the plan.

Yesterday evening, I finally found the photo that more closely represents what I had intended to submit.  Just a couple weeks too late!

I had just brought one of my daughter’s friends home and as I parked the truck under the maple tree in my front yard, the evening sun was catching the new growth on the branches.  What incredible light!  What a wonderful shade of green.  I went into the house planning on grabbing the camera and rushing right back out.  Unfortunately, I got sidetracked and then finally remembered about 30 minutes later!

The good news is the light was still great and the photo was still there waiting to be shot.  Here’s the result!
