A city leaf.
A slave to the Goddess Flora shares his garden adventures.

Although this could very well be a picture of me finding a new treasure at a favorite nursery, it's actually an illustration by David Catrow for a children's book called Plantzilla.
The dry days of autumn are so exuberantly colorful. You are wise to enjoy the leaves before they turn a brown, soggy mess!
ReplyDeleteNext week a country leaf?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of a comparison between the way leaves in the wild fall and make a carpet of compost on the ground to how city leaves are blown, raked, tossed about, bagged, etc. Then I thought of how all leaves, no matter where they are, fly all over the place and face an uncertain future. Leaves - people - uncertain times - persistence of life. Did the post way in advance and never got around to writing more.
DeletePerfect!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful contrast! I love autumn's bright leaves.
ReplyDeletePretty! I'm still waiting for red foliage (of any kind) here.
ReplyDeleteThe single leaf on the gray background (with shadow) makes for a dynamic composition.
ReplyDeleteShort and sweet... and quite perfect.
ReplyDeleteLovely contrast in tone, color and texture!
