Thematic Photographic 239 - Leaves

Witnesses to the night
Montreal, QC
February 2013
Our new Thematic theme, Leaves, is timed to coincide with the springing of spring here in the northern hemisphere. I hope we use it as an excuse to get out there and zero in on the life that's just starting to burst out after a long winter's rest.

But there's more to it. First off, there's a whole other hemisphere, and I want everyone, no matter where they live, to feel free to share.

Also, as you can see from our launch pic, the leaves don't always have to be young and vibrant. They can be like these I found in a pre-dawn back alley just off of Montreal's St-Denis street on what was likely one of the coldest nights of the year. Shrivelled husks of what once was, defiantly clinging to an otherwise bare tree in the sickly light of a sodium vapor streetlamp.

As with any Thematic theme, how you choose to interpret it is entirely up to you.

Your turn: Take a pic or grab one from your archives and post it to your blog or website. Leave a comment here letting folks know where to find it. Visit other participants to share the joy, and feel free to return through the week and share additional pics - we encourage that kind of thing. Thematic is our weekly photo sharing/learning/exploring activity, and we hope you'll play along. To learn more about it, click here. Otherwise, dive in and have fun: we can't wait to see what you've got in store.

    As I am suffering from a bout of shingles, you may find it takes a long time for me to comment on your posts. But I'll do my best to get round you all.
