A red leaf.
I forgot everything else I saw yesterday morning. The first sunflower in bloom. The wispy pink and white morning glories. The white African daisy with its dark purple center.
The red leaf. Fall in summer.
"Hey!" said the sunlight.
Red leaf in bright light.
Red leaf in some light.
Red life in shade.
"Hey!" said the sunlight.
When I previewed the photos on the computer I saw it then.
Had I looked away? Had I blinked?
A shiny black bug on the red leaf.
Where did it come from?
An overview of a terrain of some sort?
For reconnaissance?
It's Mosaic Monday, so I thought I'd try something different today. Good cheer, Everyone!
Interesting mosaic.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. :-)
DeleteLoveky mosaic the bugs know how to stay quiet but you still saw it
ReplyDeleteStay safe. I am #18 on the linky
Much🦋love
Thanks, Gillena. I think either a spider dropped from overhead or a fly that parked itself while I blinked. I wonder if the bug was going to eat the leaf. I never thought of that.
DeleteYeah, this the wrong time of year for a red leaf. Weird.
ReplyDeleteIt's from an ornamental pear tree. It also blooms out of its normal season.
Delete...we will need to wait for red here for a while, but the dry weather is creating many brown ones.
ReplyDeleteWe've got a lot of brown ones wandering the yard, too.
DeleteWe here in Idaho have been having sunny day with nice breeze
ReplyDeleteSounds good, Dora. :-)
DeleteA red leaf poem. An premature death?
ReplyDeleteYou got me shivering, Colleen.
DeleteIt's the middle of July . . . yep, Summer's nearly done. :(
ReplyDeleteIs it my imagination, did it go by more quickly than usual?
DeleteIt feels like it did.
DeleteAn interesting mosaic and thoughts on a red leaf. It’s good for the red leaf to be photographed by you before crumbling down to earth. Stay safe and well.

Thank you, Yoko, for the sweet words. Right back at you. :-)
DeleteSuch interesting patterns. I like this new way of seeing something familiar.
ReplyDeleteCool, Penelope! I appreciate you saying that.
DeleteLove your poetry. This made my afternoon.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
Happy MosaicMonday
Thank you, EricaSta! :-)
DeleteSu-sieeemac - your imagination and flights have fancy always impress me, someone who tends to be way too linear! I think we have all had the experience of catching something in a photo that we don't notice until later - our eyes "see", but then they don't! I suppose that could be a metaphor for many things. Thanks for linking up, and enjoy the rest of your week!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie. Now that I don't have to do too much heavy lifting, I've given my imagination almost carte blanche. I'm not ready, which I hope I'll be sooner than later, to give it the full reins. Gulp.
DeleteHello, Pretty poem and lovely images of the leaf. It is always great to notice all the beauty around us, even in a single leaf! Enjoy your day and the rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Eileen! :-)
DeleteAll of the leaves are green here
ReplyDelete:--)
DeleteThe more beautiful the red leaves look after 'transformed' into a mosaic look ..., If the picture is enlarged then printed as a painting in the living room how beautiful ...
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Indonesia.
Thank you, Himawan! Maybe!
DeleteSome times I see a tree with changing leaves and I'm like, whoa! It's July...everything else in the world has gone bonkers it is sure to affect nature as well.

I'm wondering if the cycle for this tree has sped up because of the change in weather and climate around here. We have bone dry years now, even when we've had a decent rainy season.
DeleteI’ve seen some red leaves already and am not ready yet.
ReplyDeleteI used to think that the Summer Solstice marked the beginning of Summer. Now, I see it as the middle. With the coastal fog hanging on the horizon, it almost feels like Fall.
DeleteWhat pretty photos that make beautiful mosaics! I picked up a leaf yesterday and photographed it today. Great minds....and all that! heehee! Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteYou said it, Diane! We are of great minds. :-)
