we’ve had an unusual thaw, and the newly re-exposed forest floor has presented me with an expanded, but still limited, color palette to work with: gray, russet, (ever)greens, brown, and straw. for those of you living in more temperate climates, that may sound like a dull, dull world, but i find it invigorating. i am often paralyzed by the full spectrum of summer. i prefer roaming every square inch of a fenced off area to staring at the rocky mountains and wondering where to begin.
