Forms in Nature 1

I am drawn to the way leaves congregate upon the ground. Some cattail reeds are mixed among this group and I like the way they lead your eyes diagonally through the picture.

Thank you Ann for your diligence in setting the challenge so well, with the themes and links. I really do appreciate it and hope it will keep me focussed for the month. Here is some great textural form to start your month with.

This is really nice. The magic of b&w to reveal the textures.

[Milanie]

Looks super in b&w - such nice sharp details and textures.

It's so fascinating. We have a pile of leaves that I swept up several weeks ago about 2 metres from our front door and it hasn't moved at all....and yet another assortment of leaves is dancing by the steps every day!!!
