Unexpected Treasure - 24/52 - © 2012 Dion Vansevenant (CC BY-NC-ND 3.0)
One of the things we’re told in life is to look around, observe, be mindful. Most times, we don’t.
Case in point: My wife has a new client, whom we’ve visited a few times over the past couple months. While she’s working, I wander around taking pictures or catch up on my podcasts (down to 420 past episodes to listen to!). I have been in and out of their garage/office many times during our visits. It wasn’t until our most recent visit that I looked down at the floor.
It seems that after the floor was poured, the doors were left open. Must have been fall-ish at the time, as a bunch of leaves blew in and got embedded in the concrete. Eventually they disintegrated and left these “fossils”.
How is this an “unexpected treasure”? Well, it kept me busy for a little bit, scuttling around like a crab finding the really neat impressions and getting some more photos. It offered a unique look at something that we often take for granted. And it reminded me to be mindful of what’s around me. (Still working on that last bit)

Treasures indeed! Ma Nature inserts herself so we don’t forget, even if we do overlook. Lovely shot.
