Snow Falling on Leaves Locked in Ice-Covered Pond

[best appreciated at full size against black]

This was another image I took on the day it snowed! We have a seasonal pond which is semi-frozen right now, and I found these richly-colored leaves partly submerged in the ice with snow on them. I love the depth that ice gives to whatever is stuck in it, don't you?!

I have two other images uploaded today that I hope you'll vist!

Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :)
