WW: Skeleton Leaf Decay

Skeleton Leaf Decay Photo
"Tis but an hour ago since it was nine;
And after one hour more 'twill be eleven;
And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe,
And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot;
And thereby hangs a tale."
 - As You Like It quote by William Shakespeare

A few Octobers ago, I photographed a leaf that clearly exhibited zombie decay. This autumn I found a tree that had several skeleton leaves still clinging to its branches. Humans aren't the only things that dress up for Halloween.

    Whoah! That's kind of creepy. Sort of reminds me of a spider web.

    I love skeleton leaves and often wonder why sometimes they go like that and other times they don't!

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.
