   @Chantal, Thanks! I’ve been having fun playing with them. I have lots more from that day, but I probably won’t post them for a while, so they don’t seem redundant.

   @Len Saltiel, Thanks! I was actually looking for leaves sticking up so I could contrast them with the background. I was happy to find this one.

   @rian, Yes! It was SO cold! Especially since I was lying down on the grass. By the time I went inside I was soaked through and muddy. Maybe next time I’ll have to plan ahead instead of grabbing a fleece and my camera and running out the door to get photos before the morning light melts all the frost.

   I like the colors and mood of this piece as well, though it’s less somber. Very nice.

   @Jen, Thanks! I think the warmer light makes this one a little more optimistic.

   @Eden, Thanks! The sun was just beginning to hit this leaf, but hadn’t yet touched the ones behind it, giving it a pretty contrast. That’s what I was trying to capture.

   This is just lovely. It almost has a graininess to it that’s quite effective in portraying a softer mood.

   @t. becque, Thanks! I’m still playing around with textures, which is where the graininess comes from.
