First Leaf - Saturday 9/29/2007
On Friday night as we left the house to meet friends at a Mexican restaurant, the setting sun caught this lone turned leaf on the apricot tree. I stopped and thought I should probably go back in and get my camera and get the shot. Green leaves around it. Blue sky behind it.
But no. I went on toward my own personal satisfaction, ignoring your needs.
In a pathetic attempt to recreate the moment, I went to the back yard on Saturday evening around the same time. The leaf was gone.
No! No it wasn't!
It had only turned its back on me.
So I picked up a big stick and tried to turn the leaf around. (Is anyone else hearing "Love to hear percussion" in their heads, or have I been listening to too much XM 70s radio on AOL?)
The leaf dropped to the lawn. Face down.
I turned it over.
And took this perfectly candid shot.
