Falling Leaves
The forest isn’t silent, not really
Falling leaves twist in the wind
Crinkling as they descend
Their echoes bouncing from branch to branch
In a secret language of changing seasons, color
The pine needle floor fades my footfalls to
A whisper of a memory as the path behind disappears
In the diminishing sunlight
I understand how one gets lost in the forest
I know why one so chooses
Leaf: Black & White
Purple Flower Floating in Water
The flower and leaf are actually floating in clear water. I was hiking at McKinney Falls State Park and didn’t have my big camera with me. I used my iPhone camera, because, as they say, the best camera is the one you have with you.

A Leaf in Watercolor
I found this leaf in a shopping center parking lot. The wind was blowing the leaves all around. I picked it up, then saw another with slightly different coloring and chased after it. I saw a few others that I thought would make good sketch subjects, so I chased after them as well, zig-zagging after them as the wind tried to keep them out of my reach.
Maybe you saw me running around the parking lot picking up leaves? They were all so pretty. Don’t let this grey hair fool you: my inner child was happy.
I worked on it a little more after I photographed it the first time; it was not dark enough.
Too light.
It's a long story ...
