Very symbolic photo, last year’s leaf rotting away as we enter speing. Also great patterns in the leaf. What a great photo.

Very cool juxtaposition of the dead floral skeleton against the life of the green grass.

  Thank you! It was a hydrangea leaf in my garden. Some of the leaves are still on it even now!

that is a really wonderful shot. i like the lacy, skeletal leaves. very evocative of an autumnal day. well it is the first day of autumn here so that is probably why i am thinking that:)

  You’re right – the first tiny green shoots were appearing on the plant as these still hung on.
