I found these leaves against the wood fence while on a walk around my hotel. Just after I returned to my room it began to rain. As I watched it rain from my window I noticed how the contrast had changed with the fence and leaves so dramatically. I realize how we so often will walk away with just the images we found at that particular moment. We can wish for better light or stronger contrast, or had a different lens with us, or had brought our flash, but that doesn’t really matter for me. I think what matters is we were out and about, looking for opportunities and experiencing these moments.  I can’t have everything and for me, this image works just fine.
