Beautiful study in survival, Jeff. We have oaks and another tree that I haven't identified that hold their yellowed crumbly leaves until Spring! But a lonely leaf is much more remarkable. #9844964

Wonderful image, Jeff! Love the light, dof and color! A great book authored by Leo Buscaglia, called "The Fall of Freddie the Leaf" is a remarkable story. THis image would be a great "Freddy" Michael #9845237
