You know this story by O. Henry, don't you?

This is the biggest leaf I've ever seen.

Forgot to upload this yesterday. Oops.

We don't really get autumn here in Florida. Mostly, we have summer until January, where we then get a few weeks of winter, then, if we're lucky, a little bit of spring before it's back to summer again. We also don't get the pretty fall leaves like the northern part of the country does. Our leaves go from green to brown pretty much overnight.

This is a sycamore leaf, in the process of dying. There's a little yellow to it, but they don't stay that way for long.

Blacklit from morning sunrise and with sparkling dew.

Frozen leaf on snow

I have no idea what this plant is but it had very interesting lines and leaves.

I stepped on this leaf in the parking lot at my office and then noticed the patterning on it. Luckily, it was undamaged and I was able to make this shot.

The leaf is only about 2 inches long and the colors and pattern are completely natural. Aside from some sharpening, the only enhancement I did in Photoshop Elements was the background blur.

Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), the leaf dried out considerably sitting in the office all day before I took the photo. I'm going to see if I can "rehydrate" it a bit.

This is the underside of an elephant ear plant in our backyard.

The sun breaks thorugh the forest canopy in narrow beams. It hits greenery and lights it up like fibre optices.

I Strongly Advise To View Large

I would like to title this photo like the Tolkien's story "Leaf By Niggle"; but i think very few people know this "fairy tale" from the creator of "The Lord of The Rings"

It is very easy to see in a single leaf the complete, tall and mighty tree.

I wish you all well in whatever way is most appropriate for you but cannot take on the extra work of writing it to you individually. Thankyou for your good wishes and to those who have made me their contact. Due to poor health, eye problems and low energy I regret I can't take on any new contacts but nearly always manage to reply to your comments. Please no more than 1 invite.

This is my first completed quilt made out of my love for all things autumn. It proudly lives on the back of my sons couch. The leaves were ones I collected one fall on a trip to the east coast and I just traced them and repeated. It was based on a pattern that used the same leaf pattern over and over again.

A rather well positioned wet leaf on a wooden bridge crossing a small stream.
