Leafy chaos

So much going on

Admittedly, this photo of a leaf-covered forest floor is a chaotically random mess. But that’s entirely the point.

Every year, my photo roll seems to overflow with images like this one. While the canopy overhead gets everyone else’s attention, I’m the weirdo pointing the lens straight down and trying to keep my feet out of the frame.

I’m perpetually intrigued by the riot of colours and textures, the sheer complexity of scenes I’d otherwise miss if I chose to be a little more like everyone else.

But I’m not. I look in the shadowy nooks and crannies that surround us. Or the wonky stuff everyone else would just trample on their way to something else.

Because the forest floor isn’t the only thing that’s chaotically and randomly messy. So is life.

Which, to me, is beautiful and worth a closer look.
