I stumbled upon this location as I was walking through the woods and I came upon a clearing. In the middle of the clearing was these two trees that seemingly collapsed upon each other. There were so many intricate details about the way the trees had fallen and the way mushrooms and other plants has started to grow on/around them. This location was so beautiful and unique and I just had to snap a few pictures.
Pictures of flowers are my absolute favorite pictures to look at and to take, so when I stumbled upon this wild patch of daffodils, I just had to take some photos. I was inspired partially by Evan Leeson's Himalayan Blue Poppy. I really liked the angle he used when he was doing the close up of the flowers and the detail that he portrayed so I tried my best to capture the detail of the daffodils in the same way.
I was walking around the Arboretum in downtown Ann Arbor and I noticed that these plants were literally everywhere on the sides of the trail. Because of the plants frequency, I knew I would have many opportunities for location, size, and arrangement of my photos. I also though the green popped really nicely when the sun shone on it. The vibrance of the green was especially nice because it really stood out against the brown trees and leaves that surrounded it.
When I stumbled across this arrangement of rocks and leaves in the woods, I was really excited to take a picture of them. Despite the arrangement being naturally occurring, it reminded me a lot of the landscaping at my house. I also liked the variety of color of all the rocks and I found the whole arrangement very aesthetically pleasing.
This tree is one of many at the overlook of Nichol's Arboretum but it really stuck out to me. I loved how many different layers it had, with empty branches on the bottom, new leaving starting to sprout and dead leaves fallen in the middle, and, surprisingly, berries growing on the top layer. I found it really interesting that if you looked at the pictures of the bottom and the middle and compared it to the picture of the top, you might not even be able to tell that it's the same tree.
