Colors of New England
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 11 November 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
A friend who spends her summers in New Hampshire, returned last month with some pressed leaves to remind me of the beautiful colors of fall 'up north'. I photographed this one to hold on to the memory. Thank you, Glenna!
PS: Thank you, Betty, for pointing out the red, white & blue for Veteran's Day!

@Observing: Thanks, Mike.
Your post today made me realize I should have dug out something belonging to my great-grandfather who fought in our Revolutionary War.

Fabulous composition. The checked background against this leaf is really striking.

@Viewfinder: Thank you, and I was thankful to Betty for pointing out the red, white & blue of it ... I was half asleep when I posted it ... or maybe fully asleep!

That is really beautiful... and yes I knew it was open today... I switched pict so it would be on today.... I do love the leaves of the fall... just too bad I have to put up with the cold weather.....
