Ink on Canvas

            A grouping of Japanese White Birch (Betula platyphylla) lift naked branches into the fog and snow of autumn's first storm in the Jigokudani Mountains, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.

We stayed for a few days in the mountains Northeast of Nagano, near where the winter Olympics were held in 1998. I planned a glorious all-day hike in autumn sun. Combining plans with mountain weather is apparently a fool's enterprise... Going up even higher was obviously pointless since one would be enshrouded in cloud for every moment of the effort. So we turned around and walked down-mountain instead, through meadows fringed with birch forests and bracken that gave way to cypress and a low bamboo-like plant that dominated the understory. Snow gathered quietly in the creases as we walked. The breath hung like dense smoke before becoming one with the freezing mist.
