Catching the Light
Wild pine trees catching the late autumn light. Pine trees are among my favourite trees, and they remind me of both summer and wintertime. The scent of pine recalls distant memories of summer evenings in Spain, where my maternal family were from. The scent is inseparable from the sensation of walking over dried pine needles and the warm air. But the scent of pine also reminds me of the cold dark winter, and in that darkness is the evergreen Christmas tree, its branches dotted with beautiful lights.
