The real power behind whatever success I have now was something I found within myself - something that's in all of us, I think, a little piece of God just waiting to be discovered.

Red Fall Leaf

This leaf was massive. Would of put my foot next to it for comparison but it's pretty massive too.

Caught my eye as I passed in the evening yesterday

Rocky Hill, CT

I was moving some photos between hard drives and found this. I have a vaque recollection of taking it. A little processing and here it is.

Remaining Drops From Overnight Rain

The shore of our campsite at Indian Lake was populated by Quaking Aspen trees. Several exhibited silvery leaves which on closer examination were covered in distinctive sinous markings.

These markings are created as the leaf is devoured from the inside by larval feeding by an insect called the Aspen Leaf Miner (Phyllocnistis populiella).

The adult moth lays a single egg on the edge of new aspen leaves. When the larva hatches, it bores into the leaf and feeds its mesophyll layer. The larva forms a serpentine mine as it feeds over a 2 week period.
