I love woods in late winter, before even the color begins to change from the earliest phases of bud growth. Sunlight penetrates to the accumulated old leaves and the color scheme is shades of brown trending toward black and toward yellow, yet reaching neither.

We had a dry December and I was loving hikes in the brown woods under cloudless skies!
