Tuesday

Still on the Journey

As they fall...some don't quite make it all they way to the ground - but get caught on a branch. Over the years I have taken many shots of leaves like this, their journey to the forest floor not quite complete.
To finish the moment, to find the journey's end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom.

  12. Yes, I've been taking these shots, too. It's a treat to see the spot of color on the bare limbs or cradled in a bush.

  21. There is such beauty in that old dead leaf, that didn't make it to the ground yet.
    And you married the picture and the quote in such a clever way.
    Thanks, Kerri.
