A bright start to the new day

May, with all of its joys (great month for my project) and disappointments (it was a very rough month work-wise) is finally over and a new day had dawned. So this image I took of young leaves backlit by the morning sun seems very appropriate. I am heading to Manhattan this morning to visit my son and hopefully will have some interesting images to share with all of you when I return on Monday. Thank you all for your support of my work, it means a lot to me. This is such a nice community here! (Image looks better enlarged)

@dishaparekh176 @melorac @orangecrush Thank you all for your kind comments, I really thought twice about posting this one as I was not sure if it was "up to sniff", but I am very glad everyone likes it.

Nicely caught, light makes such a difference to an otherwise plain view, like the bokeh too!
