    Mr. This and That - it's a diseased hydrangea leaf that reminded me of zombie decay, so I had to photograph it. The Walking Dead season premiere is this Sunday so my brains are a bit biased. 0.o

    Interesting idea - I wonder what zombie leaves eat?

    Love your decaying leaf. I can spend hours looking at things like that; I thought I was the only one! Valerie

    You do have an eye for the unique. I would probably have seen the leaf and plucked it off of my plant and thrown it into the yard waste bin, never thinking to photograph it.

    That looked creepy! It looks like a diseased leaf attacked by fungus. Did you capture this from jungle or near to locality?

    From spring time growth to autumn's decay and winter's death, the wheel will turn again and resurrection will come with the return of the sun in spring. I will comfort myself with this knowledge when the snow is flying outside my window this winter. ;)
    Great photo and quote!

    Everyone - thank you for all the compliments!

    AsteropeBC - Good question. Since plants don't have brains, perhaps they eat each others' chloroplasts instead.

    Ben Dunn - the leaf is part of a diseased bush, right outside my day job in Delaware. Its leaves are covered with dark purple spots.

    Serena - your quote is lovely, too!

    I know I am a little strange, but I sorta see the face of a frog in the leaf -- the 2 eyes and the big mouth opening -- sort of like kermit ;). Love the picture!!!!

Giveaway: Clear Quartz Dagger Earrings by WireQueen

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 108th commenter, Andalene! Accessorize an outfit and rejuvenate your spirit at the same time! Michelle of WireQueen is bequeathing a beautiful pair of clear quartz earrings to one of my readers. The design is named "Midwife Healer" in honor of the midwife that delivered her second daughter. The four sided dagger beads are different lengths and embraced by sterling silver wrap with surgical steel earwires. She has already cleared the crystals, but if you ever need to recharge or remove unwanted energy, simply place in a window that is beaming with sunlight. Michelle believes that the Creator gave to all things a purpose, including gemstones. She covers as little of the "face" of the stone as possible, but still secures it safely in its setting. She has customers who are still wearing creations that are over 10 years old! She's been selling jewelry offline for years, but only recently began...
