= = = = =
Sidenote: I bought this digital camera recently after many "I wish I had a camera!" moments. Predictably, those moments ceased immediately after buying the camera. This one picture finally justifies the purchase. Looked out the door, saw all those birds, did a double take, realized they were leaves. "I wish I had a... Hey! I do have a camera!" Fortunately the illusion works as well on 'film' as it did in real life.
= = = = =
Next day at the same time: Glad I caught it. The leaves are still hanging on the lilac, but the illusion doesn't work now. They're just leaves. Must have been something unique about the light at that moment.
