Falling Aspen Leaves

San Juan National Forest, Colorado

Aspens

This is an image I wish I could say that I had planned.  I was laying on my back with my camera pointing up to the gap in the canopy of Aspens.  I made several exposures and was about to pack up my equipment and leave, but heard a roar in the distance.  All of a sudden, a gust of wind passed through the trees.  Just as sudden as it had come, the gust was gone.  For a moment, the trees were still and dropping there leaves directly onto me and my camera and I made this exposure.
