I supposed my eyes were trained to seek out patches of green and red in juxtaposition along Piney Woods Church Road, after I stopped to photograph a brilliant red ribbon and bit of artificial pine that festooned a roadside mailbox. I actually took a number of photographs of that ribbon, covered in several places with newly-fallen brown leaves. Still, I find this later, and much more natural, bit of red and green far more enticing: a single dark green blade of grass stands next to a tiny sweetgum sapling with bright red leaves. The image forms a natural holiday tableau, equally fitting for Christmas or the Winter Solstice.
