Posted by MaryB (Staffordshire, United Kingdom) on 15 November 2007 in Plants & Nature and Portfolio.
I have been turfed out of my garden by the roofing contractors who are putting a new roof on our Bungalow, it's a bit dangerous to be out there at the moment with roof tiles flying around LOL :D so yesterday morning I took myself out for a walk. Best viewed large
Leaves in the autumn came tumbling down, Scarlet and yellow, russet and brown, Leaves in the garden were swept in a heap, Trees were undressing ready for sleep.
GREETINGS am3 friends.
A new theme for your talents to be put into action.
Wall graffiti always fascinated me. A strong message is given, an art is produced for all to enjoy free of charge or maybe it can be ugly. So go out , look around, small or big does not matter, find the graffiti that impresses you, photograph it and show to the am3-world this great form of expression or dislike if you think it does so. Please post your contribution with the title
GRAFFITI DAYs
on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 NOVEMBER 2007. ADVERTISE the idea to as many of your am3 friends as possible.
Best photo-regards, DIMITRIOS

Grogeous poem Mary and awesome image. I love the soft blues coming through on the feather mixed with the browns of the fallen leaves - awesome!!! The feather even seems to be slightly illuminated!

The feather relly pops up on the screen. Great contrast ;)

I really like that the feather looks like it is suspended above the leaves.

I love the stark white against the earthy tones.
That's a lovely poem.
We will be going through the same thing with the roof in the very near future. We have a tricky roof with some rather flat areas that give us trouble with leaks. I hope the new "system" will finally resolve the issue.

@Laurie: Thanks Laurie, and good luck with your new roof, I hope it solves the problems. We've had leaks at the back and front so it will be good when it's done.
That is so lovely!! The way the leaf and feather are mirrored in shape and position. Excellent find and capture Mary!!
