tattered leaves

Yesterday my family and I picnicked at a park by the local lake. The weather has been unseasonably warm, which has enhanced the verdancy of the natural spring flora. Unfortunately, the weather also seems to have brought out a bumper crop of inchworms which have feasted rampantly upon the trees.

The damage creates a beautiful effect, however, in the backlighting from sky and water combined with the natural interplay of light and shadow upon the leaves.
