The images in this folio were photographed on a single, glorious day of sun and snow, in March of 2008. A bright, clear sun, perfectly muted by high thin clouds, a sparkling, snow-covered landscape, dry pavement, a warm breeze, and no schedule nor obligations. I poked along down Highway 395 from Pendleton, Oregon to Burns, Oregon and drank it in, a refreshment that only such light, landscape, and fresh desert and mountain air can provide.

This folio consists of five images that truly capture, at least for me, that wonderful day in the still-snowy Oregon desert. I've been photographing in the Oregon desert for 30 years, and this was, without doubt, the best day of photography there in my life. I had been planning to release the Winter Trees I folio this spring, and for a while I struggled with the idea of releasing two winter trees folios at the same time. The images in this folio, however, and that glorious day from which they came were simply too wonderful to let such temporal decisions interfere. So, as odd as it may seem, I'm releasing both folios at the same time.
