Sweet Gum Tree Leaf Bouquet

I noticed all these different colored fallen leaves on the ground today. I started picking them up and I saw that they were ALL Sweet Gum Tree Leaves! The colors ranged from pale yellow to gold and bright red to black red! They were different sizes, too and still pliable! I gathered a bunch of the different colors and sizes, and stuffed the stems down in the rain gauge on the fence for a quick pic! Right out of the camera - no editing whatsoever for this!
