Hanging On

Holy cow … was it ever foggy here today! We had a bit of snow overnight, followed by rain, followed by fog….typical for March in Pennsylvania. It was 75 degrees outside on Friday and today it snowed! Happy Spring everyone! 🙂 When I got home from work and looked through the window into my back yard, I saw this one lone oak leaf dangling from the branch of a dead evergreen tree. It caught my eye and so I felt it deserved to be photographed. Despite the very harsh winter, with snow, ice, heavy rain, and serious wind, this oak leaf somehow managed to fall from the tree above and become attached to an evergreen branch. Oak leaves are very hardy and are always the last to drop. I still have several trees with many oak leaves still on them from last Fall. I converted this image to black and white, keeping just the leaf in color. I fooled around with some additional zoom-blur to create the final image.
