Melted into air
19 November 2005 (64)

Fovant, Salisbury, UK

I wasn't going to do any more leaf shots:
but I removed this (to me) very beautiful frosted leaf from the path of certain destruction, in the road,
as I walked back from the Post Office, this morning; and thought it was certainly worthy of preservation -- even if only digitally....

And have you any idea how nigh impossible it is to photograph a frozen leaf in the modern, heated home?
If I'd had any sense, I suppose I'd have had a bowl of ice ready, or something....
All I'd actually done was switch my camera on...!

Nikon Coolpix 8700

Well done but you could always cheat and stick the leaf in the fridge. However that would be making a moment rather than documenting it.
