A twirling bit of greenbrier tendril catches the light in this mid-afternoon photograph along Piney Woods Church Road. Day 203, and still I encounter new wonders….

I include, from today’s walk, a photo of a greenbrier leaf in the afternoon sunshine, growing on the road bank near where Piney Woods Church Road intersects with Rico Road. I was drawn to the way the light made the leaf glow.

With today’s project, I reach a third of the way through a year along Piney Woods Church Road. I continue to feel immense gratitude that there is so much that is wondrous yet to discover on my journey. Lately, I have become entranced with the play of light. Late this afternoon, I set out with my wife and our four small dogs on a walk there, my expectations tempered by a mostly cloudy sky. As we walked, though, the sunlight emerged and lit the woods and pastures ablaze with yellow-gold. In this photo, the leaves of this greenbrier are glowing brightly, as if caught up in a dance of light.

Three photographs of spring foliage, all aglow in the golden evening sunlight along Piney Woods Church Road: oak; greenbrier; and poison ivy.

I love the way that this particular greenbrier leaf glows in the afternoon light. I have stopped to appreciate it several times, and photograph it on a couple of occasions. Today, I share this image with you.

Over the past three months, I have taken several dozen photographs of the thick, wiry vines of greenbrier, festooned with massive thorns and draping themselves along several of the tree trunks along Piney Woods Church Road. Today, when I had no intention of trying to do so, I caught an image of them that I find striking. If a jazz riff could be photographed, perhaps it would look something like this.

Thank you, Karen Reed, for your excellent suggestion of a title for today’s photograph of a greenbrier leaf. I feel drawn to photographing the fascinating internal structures of leaves, and this is one of the most stunning examples I have yet encountered.

Three red greenbrier leaves stand out vibrantly against the forest background on Piney Woods Church Road. After a cloudy spell, the late-day sun shone magnificently through the trees. Much though I eagerly embrace the spring, there is much beauty to the bare branches and lingering leaves of these late winter days.
