I am already tired of summer. Here's a picture from down the street in late spring. Those snowmen, women and children tried to warn me.

Been working on this photo for a long time. Foolishly took it with my iPhone instead of my camera. Finally got it how I wanted it. For more photos visit my website: www,jimroche.ca

A trip, on a dark overcast day, to the forest.
