That's very, very nice. Now...let's see about seven billion of them all at once. Hint: you're going to need a bit wider angle lens.

Nice leaf pic, fff.

That's interesting. I would have thought that leaves would turn brown from the outside in but what the heck do I know.

Not quite 7 billion of 'em...I don't have that wide a lens either.

Who knew red maple trees actually turn red in the fall?

Beautiful pictures, if only I had a good webcam. I made the most out of what I could take pictures of though.
Leaves:

Pecans:

And for some reason my ducks decided now was the best time to lay 30+ eggs under a shopping cart in 40 degree weather:

Excellent photos, all! Thanks, folks. This is one of the things I love about The Cellar the most...the chance to share what other people are seeing in their lives.

I see dead people....uh....I mean dead leaves.

Chlorophyll is green and dominant in most leaves, most plants for that matter. Anyway, in the fall the amount of light decreases below the level necessary to support the chlorophyll and it dies. When it’s gone, the secondary compounds can be seen.
Pigment Class------Compound Type--------------Colors
Porphyrin..............chlorophyll...........................green
Carotenoid............carotene and lycopene...........yellow, orange, red
Carotenoid............xanthophyll..........................yellow
flavonoid...............flavone...............................yellow
flavonoid...............flavonol...............................yellow
flavonoid...............anthocyanin.........................red, blue, purple, magenta

Ain't it purdy as a calendar picher.
