Frosted Autumn Leaves | ©2013 David Allio

Sunshine at daybreak illuminates frosted fallen maple and oak leaves in Southwest Virginia. Euphemistically, photography is considered a frozen moment in time. In a reflection of literalism, moments after this scene was exposed, the rising sun warmed the icy surfaces and the granular bits of frost melted.

"It’s important to remember that not everyone is surrounded by large wonderful families. Some of us have problems during the holidays and sometimes are overcome with great sadness when we remember the loved ones who are not with us. And, many people have no one to spend these times with and are besieged by loneliness. We all need caring thoughts and loving prayer right now." – shared by Sabrina Fadial and Kari Banks Neely.

Thank you for making a special effort to view this photograph. Happy Thanksgiving!
