Summer's End


I was standing on the shore at the river one morning when I looked down and saw one lone leaf in a patch of sunlight.  Nothing was going on, so I took several frames before the sun moved on, leaving the leaf in shadows.

I think it interesting that an image can evoke an emotional response such as joy, sadness or peace, for instance.  This photo always elicits a feeling of sadness in me when I see it and I'm not sure if it is the personal experience of realizing another summer on the river was ending and the photography was going to take a hiatus, or whether it is simply the image itself that conjures up that emotion in me.
