In the lilting light I walked as it became night across a meadow lacquered in fallen, multi-colored maple leaves. Only in dreams had I imagined such a wondrous sight. Bathed in the chilly autumn breeze, I slowly strode on. The leaves beneath my feet crackled like an open fire. My hands, growing numb from the chilly air, sought refuge in the caverns of my pockets. Alas, I realized amidst autumn’s splendor, I had neglected to bring my digital camera. As more leaves gently gave way to the forces of gravity, I sighed since I could not capture a slice of nature’s majesty. But then I remembered...the cell phone in my pocket had a built-in digital camera. Oh joyous night, you shall be remembered forever thanks to my trusty friend! With the light fading, I feverishly snapped away. Photographs store so much more than a mixture of pigments. They are tangible capsules of life’s moments, large and small. Therefore, I shall not forget my glorious autumn walk. I think I’ll walk again tomorrow.
