Late October afternoon
a fallen leaf
embraces rain, the cold, the dark

See if you can guess what the background is. Hint: it was taken in my backyard, and it's not a car.

Yours pictures are also very nice and cool. I continue to visit your site.
For the question, in french, we said "je donnes ma langue au chat!" = I give my tongue to the cat!

I really like the color of the leaf and the contrast it makes against the background in this shot. Also, the droplets on it are perfect. Very nice!
