Not being able to travel during COVID-19 can get you down. So look down and pick up some of those leaves.
“And the sun took a step back, the leaves lulled themselves to sleep, and autumn was awakened.”
— Raquel Franco
I just went into my yard and picked up some leaves and took them inside to my copy stand setup. I put my light table on the base and just put the leaves on them backlighted by the light table.
“A fallen leaf is nothing more than a summer’s wave goodbye.”
Then I just clicked away.
Sometimes you don’t have to go that far to find things that can bring you joy.
Like snowflakes are all different, so too are the leaves each fall.
I have been mulching them each week, but today I just hit the pause button, picked them up, and enjoyed them.
“Autumn leaves shower like gold, like rainbows, as the winds of change begin to blow, signaling the later days of autumn.”
