Joy of randomness II

            Strong autumn wind, blowing off the last leaves from the trees and bushes, really hard to not watch even though it was overcast and about to rain soon.
So dynamic and alive, all kinds of leaves flying through the air, so I couldn't help but have my camera with me. I always liked the rhus typhina (staghorn sumac) tree, the leave structure and the colors in autumn are just ridiculous. So is the wood, yeah it's soft but the strong patterning and bright golden color is truely unique.
(Still have some logs in storage; I used to work with wood.) It also grows very aggresively unfortunately, but when the conditions are really harsh, it's not too bad. 

Did not plan to like this shot, as the branches were waving in the wind like crazy, there obviously wasn't any compositional thought or anything. But it has this underdog randomness, 'the fragrance of the moment', this immediacy or imperfection that kind of attracts me. Ordinariness too. 
And the color palette is weirdly both, muted, autum-ly depressed, yet these leaves just radiate, they don't seem to need good light to do that..
