The Leafmaker Opens

The metamorphosis of life from winter to spring is fascinating. One warm day you start to see buds on trees, then leaves, and before you know it BAM! Spring. This is a sort of behind the scenes action shot. Standing on a ladder in my driveway, I moved in nice and close to a leaf bud surrounded by a raindrop. I’ve never seen a leaf at this stage of growth before. It is strange and beautiful, though. Macro photography will never cease to amaze me.
