Weekly Challenge Weekly Challenge #302 "Leaves"

Weekly Challenge #302 "Leaves" · **2 Likes**

Here in the Northern Hemisphere it is Autumn, with deciduous trees and shrubs sporting many colours as they drop their leaves, and in the Southern regions, spring brings fresh new growth. So for this week's challenge I have chosen "Leaves of course you could also interpret that as "departs"....

The fine print:

The Challenge will run until midnight next Monday, 20/10/2014, whichever time zone you are in.

Every week, a new theme is picked and judged by the winner of the previous week.

Rules
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus an additional day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax (or Samsung DSLR) camera can be used.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.

nothing is changing here yet but I loved the color of the leaves in april when they were fresh and how the cardinal seemed to be color coordinated with them

It's Spring where I live, not Autumn, so from me you have a green leaf with drops of clear water, rather than shades of red or yellow. This was an experiment with my DA35 limited macro, which perhaps I haven't used as much as I could...

This lamp is made out of old leaves. I really liked the idea of making a lamp out of leaves. Growing at a tree, this leaves transformed light into energy. Now they transform it into a warm glow to please us on long winter evenings.

(Taken last christmas with K-x & kit zoom, and my by then brand new tripod

).

Drive through the country on a beautiful fall day. What memories this tree must hold.

Because we may post older images, here's scan-from-chrome leaf picture with a very different mood from anything posted so far.
