Digital Photograph, 24 × 16 inches, 2023
Wintertime isn't associated with many colors; they are often few and far between. But in the midst of winter's rage, there is always life trying to burst through. These berries grow in the garden every year, in a bush once belonging to my Great-Grandfather. The branches of this bush are long and pokey and they jut out in all directions, stretching as far as they can reach all throughout the year. I look at it and imagine the branches shooting out at each other as they grow, like targets at a firing range, trying to knock the berries off each other's branches. It's a lot of commotion and energy but funny to witness...from a safe distance!
