Red maple leaf on my Canadian 'Lipstick' maple - in the front garden of our home in Castle Hill, Sydney, Australia. Photo taken with my Canon 60D and a macro lens.

We have a community walking trail near our home. I shot this when my wife and I went for a 2 mile walk yesterday.

Spiral leaf

Such a lovely shape and coppery colour.

A birch leaf is trapped in ice ... soon to be released by the thaw, and a helpful drip from a drainpipe.

A break in the weather presented an opportunity to take a walk with the kids to the local lake...this is taken along the path as I looked up.

Sun shining through the leaf thus exposing all the veins. Amazing to see the complexity in one small leaf. Thanks for stopping by!

This was a fresh leaf still unfurling. It was not yet completely open.

"October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations above them once again"
