It is always hard to drain the color out of a brilliantly colored leaf, but sometimes it works for the best.

A discarded avocado seed started to sprout in the compost. It has now survived the winter but I had to bring it indoors. This leaf fell off today so I had to memorialize it.

In preparation for its fall to the ground, this leaf was seen stretching out between two branches. A rare sight, indeed.

Taken in Detroit in a courtyard in the city hall (2005). It had rained earlier that day.

For someone who lives in a place where it never snows, it was pretty exciting to wake up the other day and have such a thick layer of frost on everything! Skylar and I had some fun running around in our yard and garden taking photos before school.

The frost was beautiful and so was the light! A perfect opportunity! I haven't been this photographically excited in a while! ;)
