Paula I must be very artistic and in need of a vacation because I saw the ocean!

Well you were all prepared for this category! I barely took any leaf shots this year and in some cases cropped a pic so they are not as clear and fabulous as all the ones shown!

Borwick Beauty had really funky leaf patterns this year.

newhostalady you may have been the first doing leaf shots that I recall ( I have not been here all that long relatively). I do know you have inspired me over the years!

Thank you peren.all for your nice comment. I almost missed it!

I don't think I am the first to do leaf shots. There has been many a fine photographer here with beautiful pictures that have been my inspiration. With a wonderful and diverse garden like yours, your photo opportunities are endless!
