Album Info:

Among thousands of leaves on the ground this tiny and lonely one with it's worm wounds looked very sad to me. And I said "Don't worry littleone, I can't heal you, but I'll make you last forever..." and took the shot. Thanks dearly for sharing your toughts with your wonderful comments. And I am deeply honored by Webshots.com editors selecting this photo as "Picture of the Day". Loving you all - Volkan 10/23/06. Before I forget, thanks to my dear friend Murat for giving me the free pass for the park ;)

    • Seeing this picture reminds me of a time in grade school. The teacher gave us an assignment to find a perfect fall leaf. I searched and searched until I found one that was red, but not perfect, but I adored it nonetheless. This picture brought back that memory. Thank you for sharing it with everyone.
