    … the slopes and loiter on almost no wind. One may assume on first viewing a few seconds of watching the stratus is inevitably going to override the sky, but that does not happen; instead, the clouds are caught and created on the mountain peaks. Four snowy peaks, with one dominating the left quarter, in deep snow, are intermittently covered. The other three have sheer faces too steep for any snow to cling to. The light turns pinker as time moves on.

    Scene notes:

    Many mature Crocus plants with their flowers in bloom, purple, and following the small creek which comes through the composition far to near. Many meadow trees are spaced well apart, until the clearing beyond, and more woods. The grasses cover the terrain as the camera pans left to mossy trees and more flowers.

    Scene notes:

    Snowy, frost-kissed branches which create shade. An exemplar of the beginning of winter in Oregon’s forest. Sopping wet Spanish Moss hangs from several thin branches is illuminated brilliantly in complex light rays, created from fog moving in and out of the scene. They stretch left-right from the small tree. More hanging beards of Spanish moss on the right help to create these shadows, and the sun slowly moves in the bright pale blue sky that is barely seen behind these evergreen trees in the forest beyond.

    Scene notes:

    … branches in the woods as shadows move on them. Spanish moss has grown long on these coniferous trees of the scene, which close-up, shows the shadows of other trees and its own branches moving in time. The frame digitally pans downward as the day becomes late, and shadows long. The far-hanging moss is the last feature of these close trees still evident in the light.
