Who am I?
Fall. Autumn. A season so rare in Arizona that I’ll drive for hours just to see golden leaves falling in the breeze.
When did I become this person? I know what a tree in autumn looks like. I know why the leaves change colour. And yet I lagged behind my family as we walked around Flagstaff, because I had to capture every single tree.
I’m a leaf peeper. A phrase that makes me feel a little bit stupid and a lot joyful.
Marvelling at biology and science in my 40s, the same way I did as a kid wearing my Rainbow Brite wellies and kicking dried leaves around.
I hope I remain a leaf peeper in another 40 years.
Taken on 19 November, 2025 in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Seen something small worth noticing?
Reply with your own photo. I’d love to see it. There are just 3 rules: one image, no overthinking, bonus points for mediocre lighting.
P.S. I sell prints of my Probably Nothings. If you see something in the newsletter not for sale, let me know.
🪟 Probably Nothing is an every-so-often photo log where each issue features one small moment that was… well, probably nothing. Think morning light on a coffee maker, or the way a cloud decides to be dramatic on an otherwise unremarkable day.
