OK, so I know its well past fall and moving into spring (all be it slowly!), but I was going through my archives and came across this picture of this fall leaf and every time I see it I am struck by the colors and the texture of this leaf, the way the light hits it just so and the curl at the end that's just turning brown. As I look at this picture of this dying leaf, I am reminded of the beauty of life and now more than ever with the events that unfold in the world around us I think its important to focus on just that, the beauty of life. This picture inspires me to capture the beauty all around me and to share it with every one I can reach. I hope this picture inspires others to stop and take a moment to forget about all of the bad things going on in the world, even if just for a moment, and find something beautiful, to take it in and file it away and savor the moment.
This picture is beautiful and delicate and near perfect. It appears more alive than ever. My thought was:
ReplyDeleteThe leaf knows that life is likely coming to an end soon so it has taken a giant drink and it is going to savor it. It is going to bulk up and shine and make the most because it can see the end creeping up.
I am so grateful that I saw this first thing in the morning. I believe that idea will carry forward with me thru this day.
