This post goes in response to my friend @desleyjane – Seven Days of Nature challenge.
This is day five to share seven nature shots over seven days and nominate a new person each day. Visit Musings of a Frequent Flying Scientist, Desley’s blog, to enjoy her superb macro shots. Peerless.
After sharing sunrise scenes, birds and tulips, today I am sharing another face of Nature’s beauty represented by a dried leaf.
I will nominate Gun at Rantings of a Third Kind. Please, feel free to not participate, if you don’t join challenges. But you all can head to her blog to enjoy poetry and her photos.
Hope you enjoy…

it’s so Van Gogh-ish!!! OK…we need to talk. I think we need to put dried leaves on the list of banned topics to photograph….

Hahaha you took bridges off the list, right? I’m thinking about placing a monochrome photo of the bridge at the blog header. With your blessing, of course!!

Everything in nature has beauty, but not everyone sees it – Each leafe that falls and left untouched, has the beauty of turning back into soil.

This looks like fabric art! I can almost feel the veins and the brittle surface of the leaf. I love the colors and shadows, too.
