Notes:
This is a visual haiku, or a picture that suggests something that is missing. The small leaf that left its impression is long gone, returned to the soil. Yet, its mark lingers.
For other examples of Visual Haiku, you can look at Grandeur Grown, Robin’s Egg, Shadow Painting, Tenacity and Come and Gone.
This post was inspired by Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, and the prompt: Texture.

That’s quite beautiful and strange too. A good example of how everything leaves a mark, but we can’t always see it. Concrete and tarmac can very creative! 🙂

I thought it was strange that such a small leaf would have left that blue mark. I had walked over it hundreds of times without ever noticing it, and then, there it was. Life is funny that way.

What a clear impression. Great selection for a visual haiku.

Thanks! 🙂 I didn’t even see it that way until I went looking for texture, and realized it was texture and also made me imagine the leaf. I wondered how it had sunk into the concrete so deeply. Perhaps a fairy used it as a stepping stone. LOL

Probably! And, of trolls, I have recently learned about these characters. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moomin Do you know them?

Oh, yes, the Moomins are very popular in my house. Everytime my hubby goes to Japan, he picks up Moomin mugs or other items and brings them home. Apparently the Moomins are big in Japan. We must have a dozen Moomin mugs by now. We have all the books, too, of course. LOL
