The Leaves

These are not technically autumn leaves. They are leaves I have seen around places like different neighborhoods and garden centers. They amaze me; to me they are just as pretty as flowers.










Standing in silent starlight,
the wind carries a crimson leaf to my feet.
Love letter from a nearby tree.

Isn't it fun to find things that are beautiful? Sometime we just have to look a bit harder. Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for sharing. HUGS

The third and the last pics are my favourite, so so pretty and colorful☺

colorful leaves are used a lot here in Florida for color in landscaping. these are so beautiful, my favorite is the leaves with thorny or prickly edges. it is amazing to me the details we can see in macro shots. until digital cameras I had no idea those details are there...

Lovely photos Ginny, and I enjoyed that last shot too which makes a great header photo. Those leaves are very pretty and you always pick the perfect quote. Thank you! Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)

Some leaves are every bit as beautiful as the flowers are.

Great find, Ginny! I used to have some of these colourful plants in my garden. Their leaves are so colourful, they don't really need flowers.

That top leave is coleus...they come in many colors and are so beautiful. I know some of the others, but cannot think of their name for the life of me. But this was a fun post. I would never have thought of photographing plant leaves...I mean flower plant leaves. Watch for a copy cat post at some point cause this is a fabulous idea.

A Short Drive

 Let's take a short drive around the neighborhood and see what is going on after Halloween. I like the turquoise things in this yard. Bl...
