End of Winter - Scenery notes

[NW Modeling List]

Well folks, as winter winds down, It's time to take your camera and get many
many photos of the local forests and woods.  Notice the number of trees
laying on the ground, and how many are standing. Look at the clumps of pine
trees, and the rocks and junk on the forest floor.  Notice the creeks and
ponds and what the shore/sides have in them.  Notice the cut tree locations
and paths, dirt roads and access points.  Later this spring, before the
trees get their leaves, go back and take similar photos of the ground cover
plants, noting their dispersion.

Finally, in the fall, take photos of which clumps of trees change color
first.  These photos should help you produce better scenery.
