This time of year, the green leaves stand out along Piney Woods Church Road, when most every plant has withered to some shade of buff brown. In this case, the plant is likely Japanese honeysuckle — a truly nasty invasive that is slowly choking my (former) flower garden and shrubs. Still, I find this single leaf, illuminated by afternoon sunlight, entrancing. I nearly overlooked it completely — I took just two photos of it, one of which was out of focus. I had every intention of choosing to highlight something else from my walk. But reviewing the images at home now, this is the one that most captivates me from my daily journey.
