2016-10-17 leaf life span

Anyone can love a rose, but it takes a lot to love a dry and dying leaf.
It’s ordinary to love the beautiful, but it is beautiful to love the ordinary.

very true, mona, very true. and loving the ordinary is something i have learned from the wonderful community of 365. this is a quite deliciously beautiful example :)

I so completely agree. The structures that are revealed in the winter's landscape and design are so fascinating. The intricate lines that you've captured are just wonderful. Fav!
