The Language of Light and Leaf

Sometimes, beauty hides in the smallest and simplest things — like the way sunlight passes through a single leaf. During my walk in Surea, I noticed how the low morning sun lit the trees from behind, turning their leaves into glowing jewels of orange, yellow, and green. I raised my Canon 7D Mark II with the Sigma 100–400mm lens and focused on a single leaf, backlit by the warm sunlight.

But what you see here isn’t just colour — it’s chemistry in motion. When autumn arrives and the days grow shorter, trees start reclaiming the nutrients stored in chlorophyll — the pigment that gives leaves their green colour and fuels photosynthesis. As chlorophyll breaks down, other pigments emerge: carotenoids, responsible for yellows and oranges, and anthocyanins, which add red and purple tones. These pigments have been there all along — just hidden behind the green curtain of summer.

So, in a way, autumn is nature’s gentle way of revealing what’s always been there, waiting for the right light to be seen. Through my lens, it’s a reminder that endings can be beautiful too.

Green oak leaves with a glossy, wet surface hang from a branch. The leaves display a distinct lobed shape. Background features a softly blurred landscape with light, grassy tones. Bright, diffused lighting suggests an overcast sky.

🇬🇧 How about bringing out the glass cutter and soldering equipment for a little summer collection? 🌿
Maple for luck, bramble for power, a hint of oak for stability and a touch of wild rose for joy. Love connecting with plant symbolism while I work!
I'm planning talismans (simple necklaces), bracelets and earrings.
Which one(s) appeal to you? I'm curious 😊

🇫🇷 Et si on ressortait le coupe-verre et le matériel à souder pour une petite collection estivale ? 🌿
Érable (chance), ronce (puissance), chêne (stabilité) églantier (joie). J'aime me connecter au symbolisme des plantes en travaillant !
Je prévois des talismans (colliers simples), bracelets et boucles d'oreille.
Le(s)quel(s) vous attire(nt) ? Je suis curieuse 😊
