Photo motivation

This morning one of the members of my writing group brought us a collection of photos to choose from and then write a paragraph about. Photographs are a great motivator when your mind gets stuck. This is the picture I chose.

This picture reminds me of the path one takes on their human journey. The varied leaves with their unique colors and shapes are the experiences we have. Some are dried as if they represent memories long buried in the past. Some are still fresh. The rocks and water represent the obstacles on our path. As in our life journey the furthest view is slightly unclear.
