alien-esque

we were in london to visit with young jack and little ivy jean. they wanted to go to the park to play so we went. a few trees have started changing colours. this one fell on my head, i brushed it off and fell on the ground. i moved away and the wind blew, the leaf ended up at my feet. i kicked it into the sand, the wind blew and it ended up again at my feet. what to do? get down on the old creaky knees, and take a ground's view photo of the darn thing.

and just when we were leaving, partner handed something to me. "here, it's a perfect leaf, take it home and take pictures." it was the leaf. i put it in my sweater's zippered pocket. we had lunch, we drove back to toronto.

since we arrived early, i decided to do my laundry. i forgot to remove the leaf from my pocket. it died during the wash. tee-hee!
Super pov, focus and dof! Love the colours of the leaf.

you just never know what sorts of creatures you might interact with on a given day. Love the colors also

They are coming to take me away. Great early fall shot!

Something of this makes me think of a crab scuttling over the sand

Yes, but you already had the picture, so you're safe! Nice shot. Now you know the AHL method is to just put the camera down there and shoot for the best.

Gorgeous colour, and what a resilient leaf until it finally met its doom!

What a cool perspective! That leaf was adamant that you should take not of it and take it's picture!

I love the focus, the pov and the bokeh in the background, unfortunately, I'm gong to have to report this leaf abuse. First kicking it, the killing it. Expect a call from the autumnal police shortly.
