A black and white rendering of some cedar buds. The branch was growing low, so I could take a picture of it from the top down and it kind of looks like flowers or fireworks. Each bud has a center of new growth, then older needles radiating out from the center. Reminds me of some of those old mid-century modern Sputnik design elements for some reason. It looked good in color, but making it monochrome forces the eye to focus on that radiating shape.

Experimenting with monochrome on these cedar buds. Feels a little mid-century modern to me for some reason. #Monochrome #Nature #Photography #Cedar #Trees #MidCenturyModern #SputnikShaped #PNW #GoOutside #Breathe #Noticing #OddAngle
