Leaves by olivetreeann

Leaves

Our yard is covered with a two inch layer of leaves and most of the trees have shed their leaves over the last week. Whatever is left on there now will surely be blown off when Sandy hits. I spent most of the afternoon shuffling through those leaves while I put the yard doo-dads and such away. I do like to procrastinate at times, but there's nothing like the threat of a hurricane reaching you to get you to finish the Fall clean-up! So in honor of the Autumn leaves, I'm posting a shot I took yesterday of some leaves which had fallen on to the windshield of my car. They looked so luminous with the sun coming through them. I added a little texture to the background as it was originally a bright white- not too appealing or pleasant on the eyes!

I may be heading to Michigan tomorrow to by-pass the storm. My husband thinks we will be out of power for a few days and thought I'd be better off visiting my grandson. Who am I to argue with that brilliant reasoning? If so I may or may not be able to post- so if I disappear you'll know why!
Till it's all said and done, we may have some snow on top of all the rain.

Thank you Lyn, Sally, Dione, and Carole! We're all ready- lots of buckets filled with water, candles and such. We're out of the main fray but we will get some of the side effects (so to speak). I'm just hoping we don't lose power!

Thank you Maria, Kathryn, Bev and Andy! I so appreciate the comments. I did not make it to Michigan (Jeff decided he didn't want me driving after all) but I sure wish I had!
