Fallen leaves

One of the reasons I love photography is that it’s made me more observant and appreciative of the world around me, even when I’ve left my camera at home.

The last few days, there has been an incredible carpet of gold and greenish-yellow leaves on the ground in front of my apartment building. The overcast weather (i.e., no glare) resulted in super-saturated, gorgeously rich colour that was both uplifting and restful as I bolted past it on my way to work in the mornings. The leaves were raked today, unfortunately, so I can’t take a photo for you to enjoy, but I promise next year I will.

Question for you: what "mundane" or "ordinary" things have you found beautiful or extraordinary lately? Tell me all about it! :)
