Kentucky Color: Remembering
2024-10-24 - Great Wooded South - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge
Billy Joe writes, "Autumn in all its glory brings to mind and heart, one particular annual conversation with Ed Waggener. We would speak to the absolute futility of capturing the glory and grandeur of a tree in a photograph. Ultimately however, we concluded that in spite of the failure to adequately represent the reality of nature in a two dimensional medium, we must keep trying. Well Ed, I'm still trying!
Even though most Sassafras leaves tend toward hues of orange, this one in late afternoon cloud shaded lighting is a beautiful red. The mingled orange and green of a Sugar maple nestled beneath the Sassafras bridge on the left, the velvety green of the Red cedar on the right and the green of the stately Scaly bark hickory above, tend to somewhat contribute to a three dimensional structure. Also, if you peer through the Sassafras leaves you can see the scaly, shaggy bark on the hickory trunk." Comments | Permalink
