There’s something beautiful about what’s left, even after the leaves have fallen. #MapleKeys #Abstract #Nature #Photography #PNW #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #MentalHealthWalk #YouMatter

A lone maple key lies beneath the surface of water in a bird bath, surrounded by scattered droplets and small debris. The reflection of light adds a subtle shine to the wet surface.
