For reasons unknown and numerous I have always been mesmerized by leaves.
I do love flowers, but I like leaves and barks of trees alike, if not more.
More often than not we are blindsided by the beauty of flowers and the magnificence of the leaves go unnoticed.
When I was young I would collect leaves and keep them in between the pages of my book. And after many months they would've dried only to reveal their intricate beauty.
No two leaves were ever the same and I would be dazzled by them.
And from the time I started clicking pictures, I have begun to see a different kind of beauty in these leaves. The color range, the shapes and sizes, the designs on them and how everything turns into a work of art in the sunlight.
Try holding a leaf against sun light and you will know what I mean. This picture of an almost dry leaf was taken in the evening. The vivid green and brown and yellow is nothing short of a kaleidoscopic-wonder-of-colors.
These unseen beauties have always inspired me. You look at them and you realize that you are actually living in a world that is breathtaking and you need more than a lifetime to experience it. But I am happy to drink in it as long as I can and whatever little I can.
