The Leaf Gnomes... - a photo on Flickriver

The Leaf Gnomes...

Here's one from a brand new location on a fall color scouting mission with John this past weekend. Despite hiking Nesmith Point from the same trailhead, I had never been to this hidden gem before. Cramming everything into the viewfinder was a challenge here. I found that lovely yellow leaf resting on the rock, carefully placed by some gnomes before my arrival, just beckoning to be photographed. ;-)

At a recent show where this Silver Falls print was offered for sale, someone asked if the leaf had been photoshopped into the photo! Guess the person was not aware of the leaf gnomes. Though I will have to tell those gnomes not to move leaves quite so far away from their original locations. The person was correct to observe that there weren't any other yellow leaves nearby, nor any trees that produce big yellow leaves.
