a commonwealth of leafage

Did you know there is such a thing as leafscape photography?

Well, any regular readers of this blog will know it exists of course, and that it's a favourite of mine as well.

And now the summer is but a distant memory, the insects and flowers long gone (although in the first week of November the cosmos is still flowering strongly), at least the autumn keeps giving me images as the leaves fall from the plants.

We have two acers in the garden, and the (Canadian) maple shaped leaves from one of them are falling onto a carpet of kiwi-fruit litter, making for what I've called a commonwealth of leaves!
