Weber Spur Trail between Bryn Mawr and the railroad bridge, LaBagh Woods, Chicago, Illinois. The Weber Spur Trail is an abandoned Union Pacific Railroad right of way. After the rails were removed is has become a nature trail. Future plans are for the construction of a multi-use bike trail, with construction slated to begin in 2015.

* California bay leaf

The leaf of the California bay tree (Umbellularia californica), also known as 'California laurel', 'Oregon myrtle', and 'pepperwood', is similar to the Mediterranean bay but has a stronger flavor.

shot this at Garvin Woodlawn Gardens

Held up to the sun (had to crop it tightly to get my finger out of view). Desaturated.

After the rain this morning. Nottingham, UK.

A beautiful fall leaf I found and I thought it would be great to digitally make it stand out by desaturating all the other leaves around it.

This past Fall I gathered some leaves and laid them on a flat bed scanner at my work. This was the result.
