Ellipsis: Etheral Substances

Etheral Substances

"To hear never heard sounds

To see never seen colors and shapes

To try to understand the imperceptible

Power pervading the world;

To fly and find pure ethereal substances

That are not of matter

But of that invisible soul pervading reality.

To hear another soul and to whisper to another soul;

To be a lantern in the darkness

Or an umbrella in a stormy day;

To feel much more than know.

To be the eyes of an eagle, slope of a mountain;

To be a tree and read the memory of the leaves;

To be a wave understanding the influence of the moon;

To be a tree and read the memory of the leaves;

To be an insignifican pedestrian on the strees

Of crazy cities watching, watching, and watching.

To be a smile on the face of a woman.

And shine in her memory

As a moment saved without planning."

~Dejan Stojanovk

For the most part, I prefer to photograph my autumn leaves where they fall. I do some editing, and I try to show them through my eyes, because sometimes I see beyond what's really there, to the painting I would do, if I were a painter, and not a photographer. My impressionist view. But sometimes there is so much to admire, that there is simply no way to capture all of them individually. So here are the leaf collections, I didn't touch or disturb, while I was searching for just the right leaf to highlight as part of my, Leaf Of The Day, collections. It just seemed like a shame, to not let them have their day too! They worked all year to become the beautiful leaves they are!
