Leaves

Red
These leaves were too pretty to pass up. I collected them while on my morning walk. I put in my Tamron macro lens and placed the leaves on a chunk of a tree. I was having trouble with my auto focus and I’m not sure why. I had hoped for crisper images. I’ll be checking the fine print on these and dipping back into my camera’s manual for a focus tutorial. In the meantime, I’ll just enjoy the shapes, colors, and textures.

I noticed the pink oxalis so I decided to take a shot of the flowers. When I got down there, I noticed the wayward dandelion puff.

My friend, Sheila, called to let me know that the flowers pictured above are pink oxalis. I had misidentified them. I’m glad to know what they are; they are a welcome plant in my back and side yards. Thanks, Sheila.
