When I took this photo, I was really cold and tired, but I was also taken aback by how beautiful it was. I took the photo in November. Looking at it now, I notice the contrasting colors of the trees and the snow, and how it focuses on the edge of the trees where it meets the meadow. Looking at the photo I feel nostalgic for being outside and in the snow, since I barely get to go there.
I notice the really tiny trees that seem to be protected by the older, larger trees. It reminds me of the comfort of family.
