A persistence of leaves

I was surprised to see these leaves still clinging on to a little tree - in January!

I love the light on the dark background. Great find :) I'm so looking forward to spring ;-)

Very surprising and and excellent shot, nicely composed.

They are like little stars. Really standing out against the dark background and pretty colours too.

They still have a little colour! Lovely find!

Funny, but some of the leaves refuse to budge....here, too! Nice catch, Alison. Thank you for all your supportive comments on FB for my granddaughter.....most appreciated!

It's been quite mild (albeit very wet) this winter, I've seen a few trees with leaves and some blossom coming out already too!

Great background texture here.
