It’s difficult to avoid leaves when out with a camera this time of year.  They’ve received little attention while living and now that they aren’t, they seem to find their way in front of the camera whatever the original motivation might have been.

Fascinating though, aren’t they?

Theses blades of grass (also leaves in my book) look as if they were perfectly still.  They weren’t.  The wind was blowing as if a front were coming through.

For all the wind, the leaves in the water were in a protected area and a slower shutter speed sufficed.

Weeds.  Appealing weeds.

The teasel has done it’s biological job, farewell.
