The first snowfall of the 2017-2018 winter brought a surprisingly copious amount of snow and a much-appreciated day off from school. As light faded in the late afternoon, I went outside to see the snowfall. I was struck by the calm in the air, the silence of the woods, and the hearty scent of wood burning in the air, so I pulled out my iPhone and started shooting. The thick cover of snow atop the labyrinth of branches and evergreens created the perfect shots.
