Little lotto…

Every once in a while there’s an image that slips through the cracks.  Either it wasn’t quite what you wanted it to be when it was shot or there just wasn’t a place for it in the portfolio.  No matter, it falls from your radar and vanishes into the abyss of hard drive space.  Like hitting a little lotto jackpot you one day stumble upon it while looking for something else or nothing at all.  I liked this image right off the bat for a variety of reasons.  First, it was the first snowfall in October of 2008 and that always puts a smile on my soul.  Second, the colors.  This thing had been hanging on the deck all summer and not once had I noticed the perfect color match between the house and the leaves.  Both the green and the purple are spot on for the foliage behind them.  Would have been cool if it was intentional but it’s crazy because the house was a gift from someone that had never been to our yard until they snuck in to hang it on the deck while we were out of town.  Anyway, I’m still not sure what to do with the image but I’m glad to have stumbled upon it again.
