For several years, I hadn't seen this old photo of a single Red Maple leaf floating on the quiet waters of the Hudson River until it reappeared on my Facebook page this past week. I still felt struck with delight by the simple beauty of this gold and scarlet leaf so perfectly at rest on the water, with no background busyness to detract from its elegance. We are currently surrounded here in the Saratoga area with masses of trees in their multicolor autumnal splendor, and there's no doubt they are glorious. But like a ruby solitaire, this single leaf epitomizes the essence of autumn loveliness!
