Sam's Week- Leaves 1 by olivetreeann

Sam's Week- Leaves 1

I was looking for an idea to follow up my month of circles and decided to ask my grandchildren what I should take pictures of next. They each had a different idea and even my daughter-in-law had one too! So I decided to give each idea a week. Leigh was up first with her choice of squares. Now it's Sam's turn. He chose "leaves". So this week's pictures will be all about leaves. That should not be a problem here in the Northern Hemisphere as they are all over the place thanks to Autumn!

I'm also taking part in the ONS challenge this week, so I looked through my recent leaf shots and found this minimalist approach for today's theme: minimal.


Want to join in? You're welcome to do so. Here's how the weeks will breakdown:

Nov. 1-8 Leigh's choice: squares
Nov. 9-15 Sam's choice: leaves
Nov. 16-22 Becky's choice: things that begin with the letter "I" (igloo, ice cream- choose whatever words you like)
Nov. 23-30 Lucy's choice: flowers

As some of us are in Spring and others Fall, you can use archival shots, or revisit photos you'd like to process again if you'd like. There's no limitation to the time frame. I'll be tagging my shots "grandnovember2015".
Beautiful!

Thank you so much everyone! And a special thanks to all who fav'd it! I just found out I've got company coming for the night, so I'm frantically trying to clean the house and check up on your photos!

I love the pictures of the trees with autumn colors but really find the ways to capture a single leaf so more towards the creative.
