Loving Leaves

LOVING LEAVES!

Some studies of leaves

Here are some pictures focusing on leaves and their beautiful shapes and colors.

Each plant is unique and each change of season brings a change in the appearance of their leaves.  This set of images is a mix of "straight from the camera" and some that are "enhanced".  Look at the difference in shapes; check out the gorgeous colors.  Leaves are AWESOME!

I love them, and I have a few to show you.  There will be another posting of leaves later on in the year.  These are strictly for viewing enjoyment - I'll stick a name on them, and a couple will be pretty general regarding the identification.

These were tone-mapped.  Perhaps birch???

Perhaps Beech as these trees hold on to their leaves all winter.
