I’m taking a blogging break this week, so enjoy my summer reruns.

Inspiration sometimes strikes in the most bizarre places and circumstances. When I was Italy last December I was staying with my friends Laurie and Blair, who live in a tiny mountaintop village Roccamalatina in the Emigilia Romagna province.  

One morning I went across the road to the supermarket to buy something. There was an early morning frost and as I was walking in the parking lot of the supermarket I noticed dead leaves on the ground encrusted with snow. There was something beautiful about the texture and color and I started to take photos. At a certain point, I picked up the leaves and placed them on the aluminum and plastic dumpsters alongside the supermarket.

I love the results and would love to get your feedback. Do you have any favorites?
