The pond at Deering Oaks is edged with autumn debris these days. Walking around the entire edging, the other morning, brought me up close and personal with many ducks, a wonderful fountain and lots of scattered leaves. This morning, this image reminds me of skating here many moons ago and stopping to search out oak leaves entombed in the frozen ice. Don't ask me why I looked for them, or even why I was so intrigued by their sight. Frozen, close to the surface, it was like they were held in some microscopic, suspended world, that I could examine so easily. Strange, what triggers the old memory bank.

Looks at an art piece...
ReplyDeleteI agree with Wong Ching Wah. This does look like art. Did you ever feel frozen in ice...just on the surface?
ReplyDeleteFascinating, the triggered memory . . .
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot of the leaves. The colors really stand out against the water (I think that's what it is!).
ReplyDeleteYou and brattcat about have me convinced that Maine is the most beautiful place in the world in the fall. You can feel the crisp, clean air with every photo!
ReplyDeleteAs I say often, "THank goodness I"ve still got my long term memory!"
ReplyDeleteThis is very artistic. Would make a great wall hanging.
ReplyDeleteThey look like brass, bronze and copper.
ReplyDeleteWow, what an effective photograph. Putting autumn leaves on a black background is creative. It really works.
