Behind the leaf dam, slow lines of foam
crossed by a single leaf.
The mountain stream turns still, no sound of water.
A sharper version of an photo I took last February; text from my Short Mountain post. See all four photos of the leaf here.
Purveyors of fine poetry since 2003.
Great photos – I like the abstractness.
The leaf looks a spider crawling up the trail it made on its elaborate web.
What a wonderful image. It captures movement and stillness at once.
Thanks for the comments. Funny you should mention spiders, Brett…
Loved your series of leaf shots, and the last one I saw — the channel lined with leaves, and the one drifting on…
Glad you liked them, Lori. It felt close to miraculous, that vision. In a way, it may be too bad I had my camera with me, because otherwise I would’ve had to work a lot harder to evoke it in words!
