Macro Monday: Looking Down

I will admit…I have a thing for red leaves in the fall. Look what I spotted on a recent walk in the woods…proving once again that it always pays to look down!

I am often reminded of how fun it was to “preserve” (with a hot iron) fallen leaves between 2 pieces of wax paper a zillion years ago. I wonder if anyone still does that.

Macro Monday: Hanging On

A tiny shaft of afternoon sun gave center stage to these early fall leaves during a walk a few weeks ago. Representing the only shots of red amongst the bright greens still hanging on nearby.

Suspended from a renegade branch sticking out from the rest, they nearly poked me in the eye.

I took it as a sign.

Okay! Okay! I’ll take your picture!
