The Garden in Late Fall

Do you remember the four pieces of Lilac bush trunk, and how I was not sure why the scene appealed to me? Well This is another instance of that, I am afraid. I got out of the car, and saw the sunlight on this scene, which included some dead pieces of bush that snapped off. There is something about the light in this - the fact that it is coming directly over my shoulder - the kind of lighting I would usually not use because it is considered "flat." But there are exceptions to everything. I think this is also about little patches of color and texture in various places in the image.
