Play Your Music to Me, Bristlecone Pine Trees

There is always Music amongst the trees in the Garden, but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it. Minnie Aumonier

In a previous post, you saw the books I looked at for research/inspiration for the Bristlecone Pine shoot. In that pile is the Edward Weston monograph, The Flame of Recognition, and in that monograph there is this photograph:

And on the opposite page is this from Weston’s day book: Whenever I can feel a Bach fugue in my work I know I have arrived.

I think this is a remarkable photograph.  I pray that on this trip I’m given the opportunity and awareness to capture an image that feels something remotely like a Bach fugue.
