rock on

better noticed here then resting among thousands.

do not detract from it

i made sure the leaf was to stand out, Mother Nature’s art work was the only thing worth seeing. The backside of a leaf sometimes outshines its front.

light them up

a gift given to my mother-from me. They remain as they were when I gifted them to her a few years ago. They sit on her kitchen table. The table itself reflects the colors of her stained glass & the colors of the changing leaves of autumn. instead of fire lighting them, the sunlight did.
