Ginkgo Gold

                                            A fist full of gold, in many ways superior to money.
                                            Money sure could not buy the feeling this gave me.

  

I snapped this one unseasonably gold Alabama day in November. The wind had gathered them in a pile along the curb. It always amazes me how one day all the leaves will be on the ginkgo tree and the next they have made an equally beautiful ground cover.
