It's difficult for me to resist taking shots of glowing leaves, and it's always fun to find them when they've fallen but got stuck on the way down! This image was taken in January, 2012.

[best appreciated at full size against black] On one of the mornings that I took frosty images, I saw this leaf glowing against the sunlight. As a frosty image it doesn't really count...if you look closely, at the VERY edges you will just see a fleck of white here and there. But what's special about this image was revealed to me when I looked closely at the picture on my computer and was amazed to see how much it looks like stained glass! I put two more images up today and I hope you'll visit them too! :D Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :) This image was taken in December, 2011.

[best appreciated at full size against black] Looking around for interesting frost shots a couple of weeks ago, I wandered down to our seasonal pond. At this time it only had a small amount of water in it, as it hadn't rained much. I was delighted to find a thick coating of ice on the surface, rippled and encasing leaves under the surface. Here is a leaf, edged in frost and sitting on the surface of the pond. If you look closely, you can see the shapes of leaves under the ice! :D This image was taken in January, 2012.

[best appreciated at full size against black] Yes, it's another leaf caught on the way as it fell to the ground! I just love how these are suspended in midair, held in place by a few weeds. One of the things I love about this leaf are the "stained glass windows" in it! In fact, the next image is a detail shot of the "window panes" for you to get a closer look at! :) I hope you like these shots! :D I've uploaded two other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too! Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :) NOTE! I have finally updated my profile and I hope you'll take a look to find out a little more about me and how important all of you are to my experience here on Flickr! www.flickr.com/people/sfhipchick/ This image was taken in January, 2012.

[best appreciated at full size against black] I took this picture about a month ago on a lovely frosty morning, so crisp and cold. As I was looking for sparkling subjects, I noticed this glowing leaf backlit by the rising sun. I love to see those special leaves that fall off thier tree and get stopped on the way. Can you see how it is just barely balanced on the edge of a twig?! Just a gust of wind and it will flutter to meet the other leaves on the ground. It boggles the mind to think of the odds of this happening, and yet, I have seen this so many times! I guess what with so many leaves, some will "win the lottery" and if I'm lucky, I will see them suspended in mid air! This image was taken in January, 2012.
