Autumn gives way to winter and the leaves fall leaving their imprints on the ground everywhere. I often take note of this cycle and enjoy the etchings they leave on pavement, the imprints they leave on dirt roads, and on. This image struck me one day and I grabbed it with my cell phone. He came to life today and turned out so beautiful in his deep, rich shade of bronze. It is an image of only one leaf, but it is replicated several times in the photo. I chose the color background because it is like the patina color that bronze turns after being exposed to air for a long time.

My memories begin as a five-year-old-free-spirit discovering and creating anything 'beautiful.' I was bold, creative, curious, and loved adventure.
