Same September 9

Last Sunday I choose leaves as my "same something" for the Same September challenge. This leaf was taken on my back deck. It's hard to believe it's been a week since we were in Michigan! Fall is certainly around the corner- I'm wearing a sweater as I upload this picture and the trees are definitely turning from green to the rusts, yellows, reds, oranges and browns of Autumn.
Great textures

Sweater, already? It looks like autumn is in the air your way. Cool shot!

@cimes1 Yes- first time I've needed it. But we are a little higher in elevation!

You can see where the word, rust comes from - that lovely autumn color!
September 10th, 2012  
Wow, the texture and composition are perfect in this image. I would love this framed on my wall! FAV for me!

beautiful texture!

@maggiemae Thank you Maggie- yes this one was better than your average brown leaf with that reddish tint in it (which is why it caught my eye).
@sharritta Thank you so much Sharon! And thank you for the fav!!
@chrismarfil Thank you Chris!

There is such beauty in thIs! I like the rust coloring and the dark browns. We're in TX and had a cold front come through this weekend...only a high of 89! Ha! We used to live in the north, we miss true fall weather! and wearing sweaters.

Ann - This looks like a leaf you'd see in November! I've been wearing shorts and tees, but woke up this morning to some brisk, wonderfully dry weather. Had to put some jeans and a long-sleeved tee-shirt on - sure felt good, especially for going back to school tomorrow! :)

this looks like a twisted rusty metal to me. as early as that spring came, i think autumn's coming with a vengeance. but the prediction here is that we are going to have a mild winter, whatever that means. i remember one Christmas in the early part of the century when it was Christmas and nary a white stuff was on the ground. it just wasn't the same. great shot, no sweater yet for this old lady who has a bad back right now :-)

Ann this is really beautiful. I love the tones and the textures. Great shot.
September 10th, 2012  
Gorgeous textures and color! It looks really old and brittle. Love it. 8)
September 10th, 2012  
Stunning shot! At first I thought the leaf was made of rusty metal! Lovely colours and textures :)
September 10th, 2012

September 10th, 2012

Thank you all for the great comments. Autumn is definitely in the air here. It's crisp and chilly this morning. Off and running on the start of a busy day. I'll be back later to check out your pictures!

The color and texture of the leaf truly speaks of fall which came way too soon for me..I'm not happy to see so many nice flowers starting to wilt away..oh well fact of life I suppose. I really enjoy going back in your calendar to compare the week before to this one..both are really beautiful.
September 10th, 2012  
Great colors and textures. It must be nice to be close to the season change. We don't have that in Florida :( I would love a crispy chilly day.
September 10th, 2012

The leaves are falling much too early. This poor leaf has seen the end of its days ... and lacks color. It's a really nice photo. It tells the ending of a season. Great job!

@tanja_1211 Thank you Tanja!
@prttblues Thank you Bev!

I really found this one to be beautiful even though it was so dead!
September 13th, 2012  
Just got to tell you... I clicked on your latest photo and looked back to see what I'd missed in the rush of this week... couldn't work out how I'd missed the collared dove of 9.9... clicked and found myself here! :)
September 13th, 2012  
@filsie65 Don't feel bad. It took me 5 minutes of staring at this picture to figure out what you meant! But I finally did see that collared dove!
September 13th, 2012  
Beautiful fall leaf! :)
