This is one of the new leaves on the tree in the garden just outside our kitchen door. I saw the sun shining on it this morning and liked the way it highlighted all the detail in the leaf. This is the reverse side of the leaf.
When we moved into our house about a year ago the leaves were red, so I was curious to see what they would be like when they first appeared. Turns out they start out the same colour as they end up in the autumn. Curiosity satisfied!
