I adopted this seagrape leaf after finding it on a sidewalk. I took it home and hung it under my AC vent with a piece of thread. If you look closely you can see that the stem is broken. I noticed it was broken when I found it. And yet, after years of spinning around under the vent, it has not broken all the way off. It has been hanging here since at least 2012 and maybe earlier than that.
For those who are interested, the fruit produced by the seagrape are sort of a mix between sweet and sour and can be enjoyed when the fruit is ripened to a dark burgundy color. Don't eat the green ones.
I think maple leafs are one of the prettiest leaves around. It doesn't hurt that the maple leaf is found on our flag.

Au milieu de toute cette verdure, une feuille rouge subsiste. Une feuille qui se démarque des autres. Elle a l'air chargée d'une énergie inépuisable, telle une relique sacrée. Saurez-vous en être digne ?

I was on a lunchtime walk solo today, and zipping along past the golf course I noticed this leaf in the most amazing back light.
It looks like some kind of crazy emboss filter had been applied to it, so it got snapped. :)

The aim was to capture a feeling of fall warm sun at sunset in the fall. The leaf, which is hanging on to a crack in the wood appears to still clinging on to its past days of glory.
This was taken weeks ago while driving through West Virginia. As much as I love the autumn and all it's awesomeness, I admit to feeling a little pang in my chest while being reminded of how fleeting summer is this year.
Leaf of the American Hazelnut (Corylus americana) starting to show fall colors. The striking illumination is caused by backlighting from a low angle sun whose rays barely grazed the back of the leaf, highlighting only the parts that protruded downward the most: the veins and the lower part of the leaf.
In New England (not sure about elsewhere), going to see the fall foliage is called "leaf peeping". People come from all over to peep. And, with this in my own backyard, I understand why.
So, leaf peeping shot #1 is the obligatory upskirt. ;-) Sexy, isn't she?
Listen…
With faint dry sound,
Like steps of passing ghosts,
The leaves, frost-crisp’d, break from the trees
And fall.
