Leaves are very interesting magical life forms.

• Watching from far away, you might see only leaves, but you would still say that you see 'tree', not leaves.
• Even when you are too close to see forest from trees, leaves are still a big green mass somewhere above.
• Coming really close, an individual leaf can be noticed, and its shape, color and season can be enjoyed in.
• An even closer look is needed to notice those intricate details that leaves hide so well to all but most persistent leaf watcher.
• For this photo I wanted to go step further, but not by using stronger optics (even though this is just a few square millimeters), but by changing the light. A strong LED flashlight, positioned behind the leaf, gave this interesting spotted pattern that I didn't notice before.

Message of a day: Look things in a new light. You can do this literally by using a flashlight and examining objects under or on top of the light, or you can do it in your mind, by opening your eyes to new experiences.

Good luck and do not forget to have fun in the process.
