They Went That Way... by darylo

They Went That Way...

Original title was "This way" but now I see that the leaves might be telling me where the bugs went after they destroyed their beauty (thanks to a funny observation by Paul, whose opinion I value quite a bit--so thanks!).

Original post: The sun came out, so I went for a walk before shutting myself in to grade the day away. I was looking for some type of direction, and this seemed to tell me which way to turn.
This is so beautiful -- such serene colors, such a lovely composition -- fav.

@catwoman2 Thanks very much Mary. I was so pleased to be in the sun as it hid for over a week. So nice to be outside and not have to cover up other than a jacket for the chill. Thanks for the fav too. :)

Love the light and colours in this, I bet a year ago you would have walked straight past it!

Very well seen, simple yet compeling.

@wind_of_the_sothern_sea Thanks very much. :)

Very pretty!!
December 11th, 2013  
Gorgeous. I think given that the leaves have been munched, an alternate title could have been "They went that way!"
December 11th, 2013  
Great colors, love the lighting.
December 11th, 2013  
@steampowered I hope you don't mind, but I like that title more! Will change !
December 11th, 2013  
I like the colour combination - well thought out
December 11th, 2013  
Lol! Wonderful!
December 11th, 2013  
@darylo Noooooo! Don't ever change on my behalf... I liked things the way they were - I just make suggestions :o))
December 11th, 2013  
This is gorgeous. I love the muted colours. Fav xx
December 11th, 2013  
Well spotted!! Great shapes and colours!!
December 11th, 2013  
@steampowered I honestly thought it was better. I hope that is ok. :/

I'm glad you listen to the leaves.

Great idea by Paul! He is so clever! And great photo by YOU! Love it. It has been hard to find any sun lately here, huh?
December 12th, 2013  
Interesting shot! It looks like a bird to me!
December 12th, 2013  
Interesting shot and pov!

I love seeing the change of color through the holes, and the positioning against the soft disc background.
December 12th, 2013  
Nice composition and very creative shot.

@espyetta I swear, I was about to go crazy if I did not see the sun again. Was so nice to be outside. Loooved seeing Katy with Stu. You are AWESOME. :)

Truly love this. The colors are wonderful. They looks as though they are floating. Great detail and love the attending story with it!! Great image!

Hi Daryl. Apologies for not completing my get pushed challegne i have been ill with a bad chest infection. been laid up for what is now my second week. On anibiotics and steroids for a couple of days so hopefully will be back to myself and up and about soon. Again sincere apologies.
December 12th, 2013  
@simster No worries. I've had two attacks of that stuff this year, and I feel another coming on. Rest up and feel better! :)
December 12th, 2013  
Beautiful shot and love the funny title. Good luck with grading -- home it goes quickly. My goal is to be done by Saturday with grades submitted before we leave. I cannot believe the semester is over and almost the year of 365!
December 12th, 2013  
@darylo Of course it is OK. I don't want people to change things because I said so though. After all, we are all individuals! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVygqjyS4CA
December 12th, 2013  
@steampowered Yes, we're ALL different. Exactly as you say! Hahahahaha. My husband would laugh. I'm quite the persistent gal with a mind of her own, so I took your suggestion because it really was a great one (and honestly, I was trying to come up with a title and well, I'm very open when something is really just better than my original thought--so thank you great friend!!!!!). I love Monty Python. Run Away!!!!

Great shot - and great caption to go with it! :)
