Taken for the Macro Mondays theme of leaf. A small section of an elephant year pot plant - one of the leaves which had died
This was taken a couple of weeks ago. The sun was shining on one of those rare days this Autumn and it was really bringing out the golden colours of this single birch leaf lying on one of my garden storage boxes.

The very pretty leaf of a Maranta Leuconeura 'Fascinator'. I bought this plant last year and it's doing well in my bathroom.

Photographed this morning a few hundred metres from my house. Unfortunately, I knelt on a nettle while I was photographing it
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.
The recent strong winds had blown these fallen leaves into a big pile outside a derelict cottage. So much litter in evidence too, very sad to see. Uploading for Saturday Self-Challenge theme "Leaves".
Photo 53/100: my 100x photos this year will be of foliage, so woodland scenes, individual trees, wild/garden plants & fallen leaves ππππ³
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.

Leaf is life and life is to leave
Live to leave and firmly believe
There is purpose and real aim
Life is really worth to claim
Why leaves look so beautiful?
Hang on tree as very faithful
Real bond to last permanent and forever
Even if existed no danger
Even though for short span?
Must have life utility plan
To live successfully
Merrily and happily
If not then it is burden
May end anytime or all of sudden
It may be deemed as wasted birth
Life is uncertain but certainty is death
