It snowed yesterday, and since it'd been somewhat warm up until then
there's still some undergrowth that's managed to survive. The snow has already
started to melt, so as I was hiking through the Crow Island Woods and the
Skokie Lagoon I happened upon some small shrubs and burrs which
were poking out of the snow.

I tried out b&w with these photographs because anything contrasted with
snow usually looks nicer without any color (also, natural light usually produces
some great b&w tones). I used a small aperture with both of these to bring out
every detail and also used a wider focal length to make the subjects seem
like they had more prominence in the scene despite their actual
tiny size.
