After the rain this leaf landed on my picnic table. Much needed rain here and the pool of drops on the leaf caught my eye...Also the heart etched in by a leaf eating bug...It was upside down
"There are two times of the year: autumn and waiting for autumn."

I appreciated the small critters that munched their way to full bellies while feasting on this leaf. The open spaces are Nature's skylights. What a great view!
Gardenia is a genus of flowering plants in the coffee family, Rubiaceae, native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, Madagascar and Pacific Islands. The genus was named by Carl Linnaeus and John Ellis after Dr. Alexander Garden, a Scottish-born American naturalist.
No - just kidding!
There are a lot of these pretty leaves on the ground at the moment. They can't seem to make up their mind whether they'd like to be green or red, so they sit on the fence.

…… A surprise visit from lovely Cumbrian florist yesterday www.greenwheat.co.uk/ who brought us some gorgeous Tulips - note the gold leaf effect on some of the petals! So they just had to be my #117 photo of the day! Taken on my phone in Apple RAW and edited in Lightroom. Press 'Z' or pinch-out to see closer. Alan:-)

Dreaming Leaf -ユメミルコトノハ- (Dreaming Leaf -Yumemiru Kotonoha)
“That is a dreaming dreaming leaf for you
What I placed into my words is a transparent feeling, so
With a doubtless heart, keep looking up into this sky
So you won't miss even a tree leaf
Every time when we hurt each other grief is felt
We end up saying "This won't work out" and
Hot drops of tears wetted our fingers
Love that is spelled by words
Two of us apart, so far but
Even tears will color trees
That is a dreaming dreaming leaf for you
Lifted on by the warm winds, I hope it'll reach straight to you
With a falseless heart, let's share these feelings my precious love
…”
7Artisans at F16 plus a 16mm macro extension tube. This image shows the top of one of the (seven in this case) arms of a drying (dying) chestnut leaf. Curling up. In death, less and less space is required.
Still at Spring Grove Ponds and this time chasing a damselfly , it seemed to flit between this leaf a small log floating in the water .
Damselflies are flying insects of the suborder Zygoptera in the order Odonata. They are similar to dragonflies (which constitute the other odonatan suborder, Epiprocta) but are usually smaller and have slimmer bodies. Most species fold the wings along the body when at rest, unlike dragonflies which hold the wings flat and away from the body. Damselflies have existed since the Late Jurassic, and are found on every continent except Antarctica.
All damselflies are predatory insects: both nymphs and adults actively hunt and eat other insects. The nymphs are aquatic, with different species living in a variety of freshwater habitats including acidic bogs, ponds, lakes and rivers. The nymphs moult repeatedly, at the last moult climbing out of the water to undergo metamorphosis. The skin splits down the back, they emerge and inflate their wings and abdomen to gain their adult form. Their presence on a body of water indicates that it is relatively unpolluted, but their dependence on freshwater makes them vulnerable to damage to their wetland habitats.
Another leaf of the cotoneaster that has turned colour and the slight frost brings out the deep and vibrant colour.
