Dogwood Leaves [ulog #10]
Autumn color is finally arriving in the southeastern US. The dogwoods are showing full color, as are a few of the maples. The leaves on the fig tree are also turning and falling. Today, the oaks are beginning to show some color, too.
😊
I really like seeing the leaves backlit by sunlight, as these beauties on one of our Dogwood (Cornus florida) trees:
The dogwood leaves usually start with a pinkish-yellow color...
...then slowly go through orange...
...and deepening...
... on the way to red!

I love catching sunbursts in shots! Thanks for your comment! 😊
Interesting to see the stages of transformation in colour prior to falling, lovely shots showing veins within this large leaf @thekittygirl

Thank you so much! 😊
Your pictures are gorgeous!! Living in the south I really don't see much of this... our leaves just turn brown and fall off the tree, no beautiful colors like that until I drive a ways out of the city. Thanks for sharing @thekittygirl!
That's how it was in Florida, when I lived there a few years, too! I missed autumn! LOL! Thanks for your comment! 😊

Thank you! I bet you come back home from SteemFest with some color in your area, too!
Okay, this is going to sound really stupid... but when I was a kid, there was a game that I played, that had referenced Dogwood leaves as part of the board or piece (I can't remember exactly...). Living in Australia, I had no idea what it was... just that it was a leaf of some tree... Anyway, seeing your post brought back the memory! And now I get to see what a dogwood leaf looks like!
How about a black Swan? I hadn't seen a white swam before I moved to Europe! I still find them a little weird!
Lovely vibrant leaves @thekittygirl The detail and textures are so appealing.
