Thanks, everyone. I passed 4 guys fishing in a 4-inch-deep stream (before these recent rains) on the beginning of my hike. As I passed them on my way out, one asked, "Get anything." "Yeah, a leaf," I replied. "Me, too," the funniest one yelled.

We're starting our long weekend tomorrow. Be good until we get back. #8949025

Marty- I hope that you have an adventure and are safe on your trip. Enjoy it one moment at a time.
Love this artistic look at the leaves and the play of light and shadow. Love the suttle colors but especially I love the textures and the veins in the leaves. Love the composition and the layout used. Beautifully done my friend.
Have a fantastic time. #8949734

I didn't identify at all your use of the Fractalius, but whatever you did with it and with the exposure of this shot made me look and look, following the path of the shadows and the segue of the colors. Lovely stuff. #8951570
