Autumn Reflection
This image captures a maple leaf and its' reflection in peak autumn color hanging over Lake Marmo at the Morton Arboretum. Leaf is captured against the vibrant green reflection of the early fall color of the trees on the other side of the lake.
The water drop in the water was simply captured by serendipity. Sometimes we need a little help from mother nature.
