Endurance

04/26/2011 --- As I was coming home from work today I noticed this autumn leaf laying on the ground. I was impressed that it had survived the winter and was still in such good shape. As I was photographing it, I considered how dreary the weather has been lately and how refreshing it was to see this pop of color.

As the wintry weather marches on to nearly May, I think that we all can take a lesson from this leaf and do our best to maintain our own "pop of color" in the sea of black and white.
