20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
First Snow Melt

This photo was taken at the end of my first semester of college at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, AZ. The night before my last final it snowed. I had to cross campus (1/2 mile) in the snow and ice to take the final in the morning. After the final, I went out with my Canon Sl2 and an efs 55-250m f4-5.6 lens. The snow had begun to melt off the trees and I wanted to capture it.
