I turned over a new leaf…
Monday, November 5th, 2007
Warren, Connecticut. The shagbark hickory tree this leaf came from is growing in the woods down by the bank of the stream that cuts through our property. It is completely blocked out by larger trees for most of the season but now that many trees are leafless this tree is showing through. I was taking apple peelings out to the compost pile yesterday and this tree was all lit up like a Christmas tree. Had to go over and pluck a leaf to take back to my "leaf studio."

Stunning Richard. Really beautiful. Amazing amount of detail and the color is fab.
Glad you like it Jamie, this is my favorite one so far for some reason, not quite sure why.
