One of the few remaining leaves now on the trees, and perhaps one of the last sunny days here in Victoria.
A leaf drying slowly out, in some old, hippie way.
No filters in here!!!

Leaf edges with thorns in the shape of small waves.
Few of us seem to be able to resist photographing thick leaves like these, particularly when they overlap in such graphically interesting ways, presenting a contrast between dark shadows and the bright spines on the edges of the leaves. I know I can’t resist, and almost any time I find myself in a garden I end up pointing the camera at such things, even when photography is not my primary reason for visiting.
My first instinct with a subject like this one is frequently to go straight to monochrome. I’m not sure if that is because I feel that removing color may focus attention on the graphical forms or simply because the earliest photographs in this genre that I saw were monochromatic. Here I went the opposite direction, keeping and even amping up the intensity of the colors a bit, warming the shadow light as well.

I was moving some photos between hard drives and found this. I have a vaque recollection of taking it. A little processing and here it is.
Thanks to all my contacts and everyone else who always comes back to my stream. It's appreciated so much!
