Wintertime is the most fun.

Three shot manual focus stack.

Finding the light...

Surrounded in fallen leaves
Sodden underfoot.
No crisp, no crunch,
as is the norm here in the rainy season...

All is right with the world

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? :)

There's a song by Billy Talent that in so many ways speaks to me of the town in which I live.
Sometimes it's so beautiful, but it's such a sad little place.

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground

Billy Talent

We drown in water ankle deep,
Because the adults aren't watching.

(Center focus entirely intentional)

Fallen soldiers,
scattered seeds,
Resting helpless, Green; green leaves,
The dew does cling, indiscriminate.
Dandelion.

Edited as suggested, hope this is better.

Could it be fall?
