Leaf Shadows!

The pleasures of fall are many. The rich, tawny glow of the light in the afternoon. The brilliance of the trees. The swoosh of the leaves underfoot. (Can you resist kicking through the drifts, crackling swirls of brown and orange and scarlet and yellow about your ankles? I can't.)

Less vibrant, but equally delightful, are the subtle negatives of leaves on a sidewalk. Aren't they amazing? Couldn't you just lose yourself in the depths?


Like a small child, I wander with my eyes firmly fixed on the ground before my feet, seeing the patterns, the shapes, the layers, the depth. Lovely.

Here we have the shadows and the Real Thing.


And then, with more rain, they drrriiffft away. Just like summer...
