    thanks matias - i saw it from fifty feet away. i couldn't resist drawing closer to see what it was. when i saw it was the late afternoon sun passing through a dead leaf i was stunned. steven

    You caught that moment! Wow! There will never be another exactly like it - that is what is so wonderful about photography ... and merged with Emily Dickenson' words ... perfect!
