Here’s another shot from my visit to Shenandoah National Park last weekend.  This photograph is quite different from my first post, as it was taken at a higher elevation from deeper within the park, where the new spring growth has yet to really pop.  What I like about this image is that it shows the transition from winter to spring in the mountains, with fresh green buds appearing on just a few trees while the rest still stand dormant from the cold winter months.  In a short while, this entire hillside will be green with new growth.  Oh, how I love spring!

Techs: Canon 1D Mark II N, 70-200mm f/4L IS, 1/80s, f/11, ISO 160.  To order this print, purchase stock rights, or view other photos I have for sale, please visit my website at www.karipost.com.
