from one of my morning walks. it's too early for the leaves to be falling but then again, it all depends on the weather, which could not decide which season it would be, although right now we know it's the middle of summer with that heat wave that doesn't seem to want to let up. there are 4 very tall gingko trees i pass by during my walk and until i started this walk last year, i didn't know that gingkos bear fruits. in any case, this leaf must have been the work of the squirrels, thieving the fruits. but what caught my attention are the drops on the leaf.
for today's texture prompt.
for week 30 of the 52 captures challenge, the challenge is 'details'.

there was a man at the walkway between the bus station and the subway trains at york mills who was playing a guitar that was out of tune and with unintelligible lyrics of an old folk song. people were just ignoring him. i walked past him but i felt so guilty if i completely ignore him. with panhandlers, my personal rule is that the person must exert some effort if he/she has to entice me to give them a few dollars. one of the friends agreed with me that the person should at least "do something: sing, play or just jump" but do something to earn my hard-earned dollar. as i have a five-dollar bill in my purse, i stepped back and gave it to the man. he bowed and thanked me.
This one is crawling with textures. I love the stark contrast of the leaf against the concrete and of course those drops are absolute perfection. This would make a fabulous painting that I feel certain you could do with ease, Vikki. FAV
@randystreat - tell me more, please. last year in the fall, the pavement were rife with the fallen fruits and it stunk around there like rotten fruits. i had to walk on it sometimes when there are cars.
