Probably the last
I think this may be the last autumn leaves shot, as I’m in Florida and will probably see bare trees when we get back home. I hope you’ve enjoyed viewing them as much as I enjoyed photographing them!

Leaves, petals and thanks
I do hope you’re not sick and tired of autumn leaves! I admit I’m a little obsessed this year…can’t remember a fall so beautiful or long-lasting. These little “pennies” were shot a couple weeks ago and I nearly forgot them. … Continue reading
