Found Objects

 

Chert and Hazel

I stepped out into the back yard to get a feel for the weather after the morning's rain blew out of town, thinking I might go for a ride and do some photography. Instead I noted all the leaves that had fallen off the hazelnut tree in the last few days. Some of them had landed on, or just mixed with, various small stones I've collected over the years and which I keep out back. There was a beauty in that juxtaposition of soft-and-wet vs. hard-and-wet, of flat vs. round, of biological vs. mineral, and I instantly wanted to photograph it.
