Monday Links and a Photo – Fallen

"Make like a tree, and get the heck outta here!"

A leaf on the pavement in downtown Lansing after a rainstorm.  I love the color.

After a rainstorm one Saturday, I decided to go for a walk to the library downtown.  I brought my camera, just in case. I decided to try an exercise I read about in a photography book (which I was returning to the library): taking pictures of objects on the ground.

I found quite a few interesting subjects, especially after such heavy rain.

The leaf above caught my eye because of the color (which I boosted a touch in Photoshop).  I also loved the puddle drying around the edges.
