Light Reflected In Tree Sap
On my home to and from work lately, I noticed that some of the trees in my apartment complex leaked sap for some reason. It is as if it happened over night with no build up or progression.
It just appeared one morning, and while the cause is unknown, it has been unchanged since I first noticed it.
One thing that I find fascinating is the way that the drops of sap capture and reflect the light of the world around them. Photography has sharpened my ability to see the world in new ways, and to find beauty and wonder in the otherwise mundane and ignored.
Here they are, enjoy!
