In October 2000 we were all much, much younger. September 11th was just another day, this computer was still relatively new, and my scanner worked with a minimum of cajoling. I was out raking leaves at the end of October - leaffall must have happened two weeks earlier than it did this year. I had raked up a big pile of leaves from my trees and from other people's trees that had blown into my yard. I was looking at the pile and admiring the colors when an idea struck me.
I picked out a few of the nicest, most colorful leaves, dropped them onto my scanner bed, and scanned them. This is the resulting image. I'm pretty sure I didn't process the colors at all; I think this is what they actually looked like. The leaves are long gone, digested in my compost pile and recycled through my gardens, but this image is a memento of what the leaves looked like one Autumn long, long ago.
harold, you are musing, and you seem sad to me. I hope your okay.
