Well if anyone has the right to be blue it would have to be this leaf. Unceremoniously released from its lifetime job without so much as a by-your-leave. Not even given a golden handshake for its service, just a plain old shake is more like it. After having nourished the tree it finds out the tree is not satisfied enough and now plans on feasting on its rotting carcass. Don't you just love nature.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

Sweet, cute, precious little jewel this is. Autumn has been influencing you in a splendid manner, Wendell. You are providing us [me in particular] with treasures every day. Or even twice a day LOL

Lovely true story behind this photo and what stunning colours you have in this capture the art effect you add is amazing and very nicely balanced out too.Plus great detail and beautiful softness to this picture as well.Maybe leafs you could say are like toe nails you cut them of the dime time passes and they are back .

That is a unique take on nature I must say - most just call it a life cycle - excellent image.

We are all looking at it so I guess it did get a "watch" for all its service, Wendell. Some of us are in our Golden Years so take that as a gold watch.

That's nature for you... shrugging off nature's beautiful creations without so much as a thank you.... but this little leaf got lucky, it got made into a lovely work of art. And the blueness surrounding it is also exquisite.

Spend a few minutes each day being grateful for what you have and who you have to share it with.

Love the deep rich blue and the abandoned leaf finally gets its Star-Billing and its moment of fame. A truly beautiful image.
