"Fallen Leaf"
Lessons from nature. What can I learn ?
"To dance and fly a little while,
and really not to wait.
To shine the beauty of my soul,
before it is too late."
-Fallen Leaves
It's as simple as a single fallen leaf.

Here's where I'm linking up today ..."The Party's On"
Please join me on Sundays for Song-ography.
This week's song title is Miranda Lambert's "All Kinds of Kinds".
This is beautiful.

ReplyDeleteLove this! Love how the leaf is on a track signifying journey.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots and lovely words.
ReplyDeleteWhoa - that is a great POV!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo as always :)
ReplyDeleteReally love your composition on this and great dof!!
ReplyDeleteGreat angle, poignant shot. I think part of it is the RR track -- always something romantic about railroads!
ReplyDeleteNice lesson. I like the lesson or twirling on your way down...so much better than a drop.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. It makes me think of loneliness and sadness that comes with the end of the colorful seasons of the year.
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing about this image is that in the UK the trains have been known to stop for the insane excuse of 'leaves on the line' which everyone now makes a joke of, quite rightly. This image made me think of that

ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome photo this is Kathy, and that little poem is just too amazing. I just copied it in to my journal! do you ever think of doing your own photography show???? You have got so much talent with this
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanne...I'm not sure how I'd feel about a show! Hmmmmmm
DeleteLove everything about this. The color is so true. The leaf is 'just right' - dried out but not colorless. And there's motion about to happen. I just know that any second the wind will lift it and send it dancing away. And the seconds that were THIS shot will be no more. Yup. Love this.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThere was a time when I would charge through fallen leaves without a second look. Since getting back into photography, it slows me down to appreciate some of nature's most charismatic final stages.
ReplyDeleteAwesome photo...
ReplyDeleteI love love love this photo and the perspective of it. xo
ReplyDeleteI love your capture and quote to go with it - so true!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful capture, and that's some pretty good advice too.
