Default Strange leaf

I came accross this leaf on my daughter's drive. I tried to find the tree/bush from whence it came, but to no avail. Still find focussing a challenge as you can see. One of the downsides of being 62! God bless. PAUL

Red Leaf on Lynseys path

I see where you are coming from Jennie, but sadly not a cactus. I say sadly, cos that would indicate I was living in a cactus climate and not dull old England! Thanks for veiwing. God bless for now. PAUL

Hi Paul,

Interesting leaf. If it was cactus, you would be in my neck of the woods. Here in So. California, I live in cactus land. Marissa, my one daughter would love to live in England. I love the color of the leaf. I know about a new hobby. I love it!

Pual, nice shot! You may think your focusing is out (not bad) but your DoF is right on.

A great shot of a fascinating leaf there Paul. I'd love to know what the hairs are for - isn't nature amazing!
