I have been called by fall leaves, water and light for several years now. There is something about the interplay of elements that draws me, at this time of year, to return to a favorite place where leaves gather in a small creek near where I live. I thought I would have more opportunities to photograph this year’s offerings but I had just one short session in mid October to capture some of the leaf, sunlight and water movement intermingling before the cold took the colors away.
Intermingled
Comingled
Fortunate to be in the mix
This color
This layered life
So freely shared
What can I give in return?
What gratitude?
What honoring?
May I bring
to each day
a greeting
“I see you”
