I picked up a big dead red leaf as I walked one of the back alleys in town. I liked the colours. When I got home, I held the leaf up to the window so the daylight shone through it. I took close-up photographs of the leaf venation patterns that looked like micro-mosaic. Larger patches reminded me of stained glass. I love finding natural abstract art like this. No digital alterations needed.






Lovely images Jessica – the light through the leaves really highlights the colours and patterns…. !

Just wow. And your highlighting of the level of detail in just one leaf makes me stop and marvel.

I’ve done the same thing (without the beautiful photos sadly) and was wondering about a time lapse to record how the colours change as they lose their pigments.

That would be an interesting thing to do – perhaps it would work best while the leaf was still on the tree otherwise it might just dry out and go brown and crispy.
