Seeing 2009 (#21)

Today's submission is another example of what could be regarded as either a case of a "fading star" hanging on well past its prime . . . or perhaps a determined, defiant survivor from seasons past. Either way, I find some whimsical elements here as the leaf seems to be blithely waving at the camera, perhaps even dancing a hula. Fitting, as aloha is used in both greetings and farewells, congruent with the ambiguity here.
