But, still a sign of autumn in the Southern hemisphere.

Fine detail and composition. Love the rustling sound of such leaves disturbed by birds or the wind. Hope you are back to normal now after your recent spell of extreme heat.

Love the texture - the leaves look so dry and leathery.

The brown toning really gives these dried leaves an autumn feel. Super texture and depth of field.
