A Single Leaf

I was held captive for 10 minutes this morning by a single leaf that fell on the ground.  The yellow leaf, detached from the tree, seemingly smiling under the golden morning sun ray, hit me with such force that I had to stop, put away my bike, looked at it for a moment and then took out my camera.  I never question the power of nature to affect the emotion of human beings with its beauty.  In this case, one lone leaf left me awestruck.  Spent the next 10 minutes photographing this leaf in various positions.  Below is one of the frames.
