Bright mid-morning sunshine greeted my arrival at Piney Woods Church Road today. The road was no longer covered with flowing water, and yesterday’s water droplets were gone. Still, I found plenty to photograph, including various vines, resurrection ferns, and reflections in the water remaining in roadside ditches. Toward the end of my walk, a persimmon leaf, still attached to a sapling and still mostly dark green, beckoned me. I took out my +10 macro lens — one that actually has to be pressed into the subject of the image in order to achieve focus — and took several images of the leaf. The result is this leafscape, vibrant with color in the midst of a drab Georgia winter.
