I discovered this leaf skeleton on the ground as I was bringing the recycling bin back to the house the other day. For most of my life, I referred to these objects as rotting leaves, but during the height of the pandemic, I ordered a small packet of these things from Amazon. I learned that they are called leaf skeletons, and folks like to scrap book with them. Anyway, the fancy ones were just too perfect for my taste. As it turns out, there are plenty of naturally occurring specimens like this one lying about. Fortunately, the studio cat decided not to rip this one to shreds before it could be photographed.
Tasting notes: Pentax K-3 Mark III Monochrome and the 35mm f/2.8 Macro lens.
