It strikes me while I am being stunned by a wintery view of Kinney Creek near Branch that the late great Fred Picker would have loved to have been able to photograph and make black and white prints of this winter scene. Fred was one of the world's grand masters of black and white printing. As much as I love black and white photography, I have chosen to render the scene in color because I think the golden water and green lichen and other hints of green complement the otherwise monochromatic scene and emphasize the stream.
