Party Lights

It’s the middle of winter and my last few posts have featured some pretty dreary tones.  I thought it was time for some color so I did a little browsing and found this gem waiting on my hard drive since last spring.

These leaves, photographed in the woods of Northeast Wisconsin (near my home), were early spring sprouts; debuting last April. The way the sunlight illuminates them, it reminded me of colorful party lights strung though the trees.

Take a look at the larger size by clicking on the image.  I think  you’ll find it a better view.
