Leaves

I took a bunch of photos of random things today since I was completely lacking energy, inspiration or motivation. My husband was pulling my son around on a tarp as they were cleaning the yard up, so I took some shots. Unfortunately, there were two great shot that were out of focus. Waa waa.

Instead, I give you these leaves. I find this shot frustrating because I love when other people post shots that are minimal, interesting and beautifully composed. It seems like it would be easy, but it is not. Well, for me it is not.

I also posted the original SOOC color version...

Thank you so much for all of the comments and favs on my photo yesterday. You all got me a spot on the PP.
