    Decay is an important part of nature.

    Mr. This and That - it's a diseased hydrangea leaf that reminded me of zombie decay, so I had to photograph it. The Walking Dead season premiere is this Sunday so my brains are a bit biased. 0.o

    Interesting idea - I wonder what zombie leaves eat?

    Love your decaying leaf. I can spend hours looking at things like that; I thought I was the only one! Valerie

    You do have an eye for the unique. I would probably have seen the leaf and plucked it off of my plant and thrown it into the yard waste bin, never thinking to photograph it.

    That looked creepy! It looks like a diseased leaf attacked by fungus. Did you capture this from jungle or near to locality?

    From spring time growth to autumn's decay and winter's death, the wheel will turn again and resurrection will come with the return of the sun in spring. I will comfort myself with this knowledge when the snow is flying outside my window this winter. ;)
    Great photo and quote!

    Everyone - thank you for all the compliments!

    AsteropeBC - Good question. Since plants don't have brains, perhaps they eat each others' chloroplasts instead.

    Ben Dunn - the leaf is part of a diseased bush, right outside my day job in Delaware. Its leaves are covered with dark purple spots.

    Serena - your quote is lovely, too!

    Beautiful shot! I have this weird obsession with decaying leaves, lichens, and mushrooms, lol. So I'm totally feeling this picture.

    Linked up with you! Thanks! :)

    I know I am a little strange, but I sorta see the face of a frog in the leaf -- the 2 eyes and the big mouth opening -- sort of like kermit ;). Love the picture!!!!

Handmade Giveaway: Scarf from Elizabeth Koh

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Susana Silva for submitting the randomly-chosen 392nd entry. Normal people go to the beach in the summer, but I prefer autumn when it's more peaceful. The weather may be chilly, but that's why scarves come in handy! Not to mention that they're also a fun fashion accessory. One winner will get to choose any scarf under $40 from Elizabeth Koh to heat up an outfit. Elizabeth Koh is not one person, but two - both Janelle and Megan's middle names are Elizabeth, and Koh means island in Thailand, where they handcraft all their cotton and silk scarves. Every collection is named after a beach or island in Thailand and feature a range of weights for wearing in several seasons. Elizabeth Koh is committed to improving the communities where their products are made, so 10% of proceeds are donated to SOS Children's Villages in Thailand. Not only will you help feed others by buying a scarf this holiday season, you'll al...

Jewelry Giveaway: Silver Wreath Ring by Kate Szabone

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Linda Meyers-Gabbard for submitting the randomly chosen 702nd entry. Have you dragged your holiday decorations out of the attic and dusted off the Christmas wreath yet? One reader will win the above sterling silver band by Kate Szabone Jewellery and get to hang a wreath ring around her finger during any season. The design is reminiscent of a budding rose branch. The band looks simply lovely on its own, but can be stacked with two or more rings. Kate even makes a matching engagement ring, available in 14k white, yellow or rose gold and set with a rose cut diamond or moissanite stone! Walking through the wonderland of Kate's online shop is a beautiful sight. Her jewelry is inspired by the simplicity and complexity of nature, the Art Nouveau movement and her mother - a photographer, spinner and fibre artist. Kate uses a range of recycled metals, natural gemstones and conflict-free diamonds whose sparkles are even breathtaking...

Handmade Giveaway: Spring Leaf Anklet by Erthe Fae Designs

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 95th commenter, Brooke! The season of buds and blossoms isn't over yet! The spring leaf anklet above will bloom into a lovely addition to one reader's accessory garden. It is one of a kind, planted in the Erthe Fae Designs studio by AJ Reardon. The Czech glass beads and satiny leaf-shaped beads are strung on sturdy, flexible beading cable which holds up well to daily wear. Anklet is adjustable from 10" to 12" and fastens securely with a sterling silver lobster clasp and extender chain. The delicate hues of green and opalescent white will catch the light, whether you're wearing it with a shimmering belly dance costume or a casual pair of capri pants. AJ draws inspiration from mythology, literature, folk lore and the natural world to create a variety of steampunk and fantasy jewelry, including necklaces, bracelets, and chandelier earrings. The influence of tribal belly dance also gleams brigh...
