Jus’ A Wee Clover

St. Patrick’s Day needed to have proper representation. I had no desire to drive any snakes out of Southwestern PA, so my hunt for clover was on. I wanted to create a shot backlighting the green fella as a central element in my frame. I found a very small patch of clover in a field and selected one to be my model. Our first stop was a tree limb with the last light of the rapidly setting sun behind. The wind made it difficult to get a good shot and by the time I conceded that fact, the sun was below the hill. I was determined to make it work, so I crossed the road, jumped a creek, and climbed a bank that was still in the path of the sunlight. I managed to get a few shots that were ok and then the clouds opened one final time for the winning shot. It must have been a little Irish luck on my side.
