found this nugget of wonderfulness on the pavement right beside where I had just anchored my yacht at the gym the other day. I was so excited that I had not run over it with its weathered details and delicately rolled tips. placing it in the car for safe keeping, I was surprisingly giddy with happiness for the first time in days. however, when I held it up to show others like the blue ribbon winning prize at the fair, my excitement, giddiness, and happiness was not reciprocated. that's okay, I'm a mom and I know special when I see it.
and you, my parking lot leaf, are very special.
It is a nice leaf, it looks quiet regal and elegant sitting upon the black surface. It's funny how we view everything as a photo op/subject after a while.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed. And you did a great job showing it.
ReplyDeleteI understand!! I do the same thing myself. Kudos to you for noticing and appreciating it. There are so many people who would not see anything except a fallen leaf, if even that.
ReplyDeleteOh I always have my eyes peeled for gorgeousness like this. Kudos to you for treasuring this beauty!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes, it takes special eyes to see specialness :)
ReplyDeleteloved the story behind the leaf...and yes it is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI know special too. I agree with you. (o:
ReplyDeleteThe other day I had a similar experience with a vibrant colored fall leaf. I picked it up and marveled at its beauty...one leaf out of millions, but beautiful in every detail. I'm glad found it, too much of God's handiwork to miss.
