When leaves are like chocolate underfoot...  
I was driving along a particularly tree lined road in my little town and caught a glimpse of something almost "glittering" in the fallen leaves along the curb.  I immediately pulled over and grabbed my camera.  I surveyed the scene, got down on my knees and elbow and was enthralled with the way that the leaves appeared almost like chocolate in the sunlight.  I was snapping way, trying different angles, probably talking to myself...and then I happened to look up to see a group of high school kids standing stock still across the street watching me as though I was some sort of alien from another planet.  I stood up, dusted myself off, gave them a wave and got into the car.  So, I looked like a bit of an idiot, but ask me if I care?  Whatever it takes to get the shot, right?  :)
