Apple Tree, Morning Fog

by Jon Katz

It was sometime after 4:30 a.m., I couldn’t sleep and went downstairs to read and  have something to drink. I read for a few minutes, and then – it wasn’t too long – I saw the morning light come up behind the fog, and I saw the faintest outlines of our other apple tree, the one behind the pole barn.

I always want to photograph this beautiful and evocative tree, but I usually can’t find the right angle. This morning, as I walked out the back (yes, with no clothes but a working shirt) and towards the sun, the little apple tree emerged from the clouds, she was almost magically  back lit, and by the sun, no less.

I think this was the photograph I was waiting for, mystical, even eerie, yet beautiful and  broody.
