Impossible to ignore this perfectly heart-shaped leaf. It caught my eye as I was pulling out of the driveway at lunch time today. Since the leaf isn't much longer for this world, I thought a portrait was fitting. A valentine in December.
"All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt."— Susan Sontag
