UPDATE: Chosen by jury for the 2016 "Shades of Gray" Photography Exhibit in Albuquerque, NM.
Many images of the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico are of the thousands of sandhill cranes, snow geese, Canadian geese and other birds that winter there. I was taken by this lone cottonwood tree framing a waxing moon in the background. The tree, a skeleton of its former self, is a memory of what once was on this desert landscape.
