The first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970. This was 7 years before I was born. I was just a twinkle in my mothers eye but I'm sure I was there in spirit. I'm just glad someone had the sense to say "Hey you guys are making a mess of things."
About the photo: I am always looking for heart shapes. I suppose you could say I'm looking for love in all the wrong places, ha-ha. On this morning I got up with the sun. When I saw the dew on the grass outside I grabbed my camera and headed to the back yard to try and shoot my roses. On my way to the flower beds I saw this single leaf laying on the ground.
It was just one of those moments where nature surprises you by giving you something better than you could have asked for. I felt this image was appropriate for Earth Day, hope you enjoy.
Processing: Lowered the luminance levels on the green, shifted the hue (orange to red) on the leaf & added a round vignette.
