Autumn Leaves

I was really enjoying photographing the Autumn leaves last fall, and I wound up with quite a lot of leaf photos. Here are a few of them.

Most of the time the leaves on the blackberry brambles turn to a deep red or purplish color in autumn, but they don’t usually do this. This one plant I found at the edge of the woods has some sort of almost variegated look to it’s leaves.
An elm leaf I found in the driveway and held up to the light to photograph. Elm leaves have cool patterns in the serrated edges of the leaf and the leaf veins that I like to photograph. I’m not sure where this leaf came from though, because there aren’t any elms near the driveway.
This sassafras leaf was still on the tree when I photographed it. I wasn’t sure at first if I wanted to try to get one of the large dark spots in the picture, but then under the macro lens it was kind of reminding me of a sunspot so I decided I liked it.
