Weightless II

Floating along on dark waters that are being kissed by late afternoon sunshine breaking through the woodland canopy, a resplendent maple leaf makes its way to its next 'port of call' - a rock in the stream? a tangle of half-submerged branches along the banks, caught for days in a never-ending whirlpool of other leaves, foamy flecks and pale golden pine needles? I felt lucky and fortunate to see it, capture it, watch it drift along with the current and twist, turn and change course in the gentle breeze - bon voyage little piece of nature.
