7/14/2009 8:51:39 AM

So well set up! Blue to me represents winter. The leaf is very "expired" and well preserved which backs up this thought...that you took this in the deep winter time surrounded by GLACIER ICE!!! HA! (I have lived in CANADA for too long!)

Wonderful Job Colleen and huge congrats on your PHOTO OF THE DAY!
