While doing a brief hike this past weekend I spotted by first brightly-colored autumn leaf! If you know me at all, you know that I am head-over-heels smitten with Autumn. I am a big-time “leafer“. I love the bright-colored leaves, the smell of burning leaves, pumpkins, butternut squash soup, spicy beers, brisk mornings, and potted mums! Needless to say, I was pretty excited when I spotted this leaf….my first sign that my favorite season is around the corner.
What I love about this leaf is that it looks like the red is slowly creeping over the green in the leaf and taking it over.

Love love love painted leaves at any time of the year but especially in the fall. Have fun.
Wow! That work in progress version looks so close to the original.
