Obscura, Day 112

These circles are projected on the side of my house as the sun moves further west and begins to set in the evening. They are created by the light being filtered through the leaves on the crabapple tree. And although I know these circles are goverened by the laws of physics I prefer to think of it as magic occurring before my eyes. If the openings between the leaves were smaller or tighter they would project images of my yard, the neighborhood, and the sky upside down and backwards onto the side of my house like an image from a camera obscura.
