Taken on a morning walk...beautiful light! Again, unusual composition...but thought that the natural bokeh was perfect.
Edits: Ran through curves a bit and sharpened the leaf slightly. It didn't need much help....it was perfectly and naturally highlighted.
I had a plan for my Sunday diary entry but it was short circuited by some very wacky dry season weather: Overcast most of the day with intermittent showers throughout the afternoon.
I had a couple of shots I was not really pleased with but it was all I had until I took Cayenne out back to pee.
When I flipped on a terrace light I saw this strange looking guy hanging a column just below the light. He was very cooperative, sitting motionless while I took a variety of shots both with and without flash. I've rotated this 90 degrees as he shows better horizontally.

A random plant in my garden. I love that the light shines through the leaf highlighting all the veins and the little hairs =]
Google Search says this is a microcentrum retinerve or lesser angle-wing katydid. All I know is he does a great imitation of a leaf. He was strolling around the edge of our bird bath and I provided him with a leaf which he quickly got on.
I do loves the fall color. I'm pretty sure this was the same tree as the macro leaf vein picture.
It's possibly some sort of Cercis
