Art Every Day - my day 8
How beautiful leaves grow old.
How full of light and color are their last days.
- John Burroughs
I fell in love yesterday.
Giggle, let me clarify. I left the BF in bed, bundled up and with cameras in tow I ventured to Central Park. I'll admit that my expectations were low - the Autumn colors this year just haven't been their best.
Well, I fell in love. At the Eastern edge of The Ramble I stumbled across leaves that looked painted. The colors weren't consistent across the leaves. It was almost as if a mixed media artist had created a background of color on each leaf.
This maple tree had worked so hard to deliver Autumn that I felt the need to honor it's efforts and share my love.
I played and like a child picked leaves from the ground.
Nearby, I said thank you with all my heart.
May your Sunday be captured in color.
WOW! Gorgeous colors....and they do look like they had been painted! PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post! I can just picture you!
ReplyDeleteYour heart of leaves is a perfect way to honor autumn!!!!!
ReplyDeleteStunning leaves.
ReplyDeleteWill you press some and try to keep them. I love your heart design. There must be a way of preserving the colours...
I wonder if strange weather had anything to do with it?
I am in love with your love....this is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful leaves and I love how you photographed them!
