The autumn afternoon is chilled with the early hint of winter.  The aspen’s leaves, their splendor spent, now modestly adorn the forest floor.  I am drawn into the woods, wandering aimlessly it would seem.  And then I come upon this fallen tree.  I set up my camera and begin to explore the scene before me.  I let myself go.  Each image becomes more exciting.  I feel freedom and glee, a return to my childhood.  I am giddy with delight.  The energy grows as new wonders present themselves – until suddenly my camera and I discover an explosion of light what must surely be a glimpse of heaven.
