....and so it begins!....

The poinsettia is still looking pretty good, but this is one of the first leaves to fall! I love the way they curl & make interesting shapes once they drop & start to dry out.
A long day at work today, so a quick shot tonight.
Nice on black.
Many thanks for your comments on yesterday's photo.

The textures make a real nice contrast against the plain background.

Beautiful in its own way. Great opportunity you discovered - it would have been so easy to discard the leaf.
