Aspen Tear

Digging through some fall images from 2011. Figured that since it's pretty much winter for most, I would find a winter like image. This is the only day I saw falling snow all of 2011 (I live in San Diego )

As I was processing this, I noticed the cool looking Aspen Eye that seems to have a teardrop. Maybe it was sad that the end of the world....nevermind. Or, maybe it knew that my camera would seize up on me only 30 minutes after the shot.

Ok, so honestly, I shot this scene originally to capture the snow and fall colors. Now, I am drawn to the simplicity of the snow, yellow leaves, and the tear.

Canon 5Dm2, 70-300.
