236/366 (21) There's something enigmatic about one, Autumn-coloured leaf, fluttering around in the August sunshine. Promise of things to come but still a while away. If I could go back, I'd use a bigger aperture/shorter shutter speed, to get more of the leaf's surface in focus.

I placed it on my black pants leg to offer some contrast (and awesome black and gold coloring! :) ).

Hurricane Sandy a.k.a. "Frankenstorm" is heading this way and arriving tonight, so if I disappear for a week or two, that would be why. They are forecasting sustained high winds for days and loads of rain, so prolonged power outages are very likely. Hoping they are wrong and that all of us in the storm's path make it out without too much damage.

Amazing autumn colour on this very appropriately named liquid amber tree

The family Phylliidae (often misspelled 'Phyllidae') contains the extant true leaf insects or walking leaves, which include some of the most remarkable leaf mimics in the entire animal kingdom. They occur from South Asia through Southeast Asia to Australia. There are different views about their taxonomy.

This Salvia regla is native our area. We have several plants growing in our garden and the hummingbirds love them.

For my ongoing bird-a-day project for 2017. Thank you!

I rarely move things around or 'stage' things when I take shots. In this case, I wanted to see the texture of the fallen leaf in a patch of sunlight against the stone.

Post processed in Lightroom and Nik Collection.

This little leaf blew into my window today while I was driving. I knew right away that I was going to bring it home and photo it.

I really like the way these two light sources work together making a warm/cold contrast.

Leaf Scorpionfish

One leaf, one day, one moment, one time.

I have always like the leaf as a metaphor for life.

Beautiful Tuesday to you.

A newly emerged maple leaf basks in the sun. These memories of the earth's rebirth will have to sustain us until Spring.
