L'arbre est dans ses feuilles chante Zachary Richard.
So many things to love about this photo - the way the tree fills the frame, the light shining through, the autumn detritus on the ground... Wonderful!
Beau-ti-ful!!! and so poetic! I'm speechless....
I love the light playing with the leaves.
I love autumn for its colors..........
What a beautiful tree. The light and the delicate leaves are beautiful.
Interesting point - there seems to be an assumption that everyone is in the northern hemisphere! Those maps which are common in Oz having the southern hemisphere at the top should be made more popular - it's all arbitrary anyway.
Wonderful shot!! The tree is glowing in the light!!
a glorious shot!
You're back, I just noticed! Will have to check out your pics! :) Love the shot.
Nice colors and composition. Beautiful.Ladies and their favorite celebrities, amiright? If Connie Britton jumped off a bridge, wouldn't you? If Cate Blanchett ran down Seventh Avenue in a duck suit yelling about the End of Days, hand me my beak!
H. Gilbert Welch, a professor of medicine at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice and a co-author of Overdiagnosed: Making People Sick in the Pursuit of Health, is worried that perfectly healthy women will undergo preventative mastectomies because Angelina Jolie had one. "I hope I'm positive for the BRCA1 gene!" exclaim all women, everywhere. "Then I can land a guy like Brad Pitt!"
The vast majority of women don't have BRCA1. They are at average risk for breast cancer. They are not Angelina Jolie. They should not have a preventive mastectomy.
Which is totally legitimate and fine, and also has been studied and confirmed, if Welch just stopped there. He doesn't. He argues against getting the $3,000 BRCA1 screening test in the first place: your family history of cancer is a good enough indication of how at-risk you are:."
Go figure! That's why Cath Gilroy, the Manchester woman diagnosed — along with her daughter and sister — with the BRCA2 gene, had to nag her doctors repeatedly for the test. If a person has the financial resources, feels she might be at risk for the gene and wants to take the screening test, there's absolutely no good reason to refuse her, even if you think she's being (ugh) "hysterical."

Yes: Päätän puheenvuoroni korostaen kahta seikkaa: ensiksi Sveitsin kysymys.
[Q]: Viimeksi mainitussa kysymys on ensisijaisesti siitä, voiko Algeria noudattaa vapautta koskevia kansainvälisiä sitoumuksiaan, mutta myös siitä, mitä yhteiskunnallisia seurauksia on rajojen ja markkinoiden avautumisesta ja kaikenlaista vapautta julistavasta politiikasta, kun Euroopan unioni samaan aikaan toimii kuin linnoitus.

Translate this to English?
[A]: With regard to the latter, Algeria must, first and foremost, respect its international commitments on freedom but there is also the question of the social consequences of opening-up the borders and markets and of a policy that, it is claimed, is entirely liberal, at a time when the Union is presenting itself as a fortress.
