This is one of my favorite recent shots. I walk on this sidewalk frequently while I'm on my way to the post office, Trader Joe's, a bar or some other local business. One day I looked down and saw this impression of a leaf that had somehow ingrained itself into the sidewalk. I suppose that it fell from its tree on a rainy night and then lay there undisturbed for some length of time while it leached its chemicals into the sidewalk.
In some way, this single leaf has found a way to immortalize itself; how rare, how heartwarming. Perhaps we too can do something similar with our own unique and ephemeral lives.
