overlooked and ordinary

making this photo today reminded me of three STILL general principles: 1) just after a storm is a productive time to look for STILL subjects, 2) transition periods between seasons are often more interesting than peak season, and 3) sometimes it’s not the 1st, the 10th, or the 100th time you look at a familiar object. sometimes you have to wait until the 101st time before, suddenly, it bursts free of ordinariness and familiarity into a spectacular newness. case in point. these silver maple leaves.
