It's a simple phrase, but the evidence is everywhere.
Early this past Wednesday morning, Friedman snapped a picture of the Old Library by Lake Afton.

It was framed by the branches of a flowering tree next to the lake.
"I had noticed the tree the day before when I was returning home from taking photographs in the New Hope area," Friedman told Patch this week.
However, on this day, Friedman said it was a bit late —about 8:45 a.m. —in terms of the light.
"I made a point to get there very early the next day, to catch the day's soft light, just after sunrise (I took this at about 6:40 am). I knew that if I positioned my camera and tripod in the parking lot of the Continental Tavern, and used my 100-400 mm lens, the flowering tree would beautifully surround the Old Library."
And that's just what he did.
