The day - the countryside - looked as fresh and pretty as a young bride. 'A Robed in white, the trees and shrubbery appeared to be out of this world. Everything looked so soft, fluffy, and pure. What a sight to behold 1 This was no day to wash the win dows in the barn, curry the cows, or work on production records All that could wait 1 This was a day to really appreciate the beauty of Nature With that, I grabbed my camera and loaded it with black-and-white film, and began hiking through the pasture towards the woods.
