Two autumnal brown viburnum leaves on a stem with a snow-covered bokeh background. The front leaf is flopped with patina varying from dark brown to olive green. Both leaves have visible veins and jagged edges. A band of grey path runs just behind, with other leaves and tree trunks in the background above, and copper light from the afternoon sun in the upper right edge of the image. A chaos of stems is in the background behind and below the leaves.

The back of a single red maple leaf on the sidewalk. It's pink with red veins and a yellow stem tip. There are three bite holes towards one edge. The sidewalk has diagonal ridges
Last #oneleaf focus post of the day, but I still have more of them to share from the past few weeks of #leafappreciation captures.
While these holes are bite marks, you can use a hole punch on differently coloured autumn leaves to make non-plastic confetti.
