“Autumn is beautiful, don’t you think?”
“Absolutely,” I agreed, watching gorgeous, variegated leaves fall.
“And you paint leaves? Unoriginal. You should find another subject.”
Never, I thought, while waiting for him to leave.

This is a lovely story that makes me long for my favorite season.
My favourite time of year. As a photography enthusiast, I take many photos of leaves. A step out my back door, the leaves are in our trees, on the ground, and yard art. It’s just that easy to reflect on nature, and take a photo for a memory.
