WW: Skeleton Leaf Decay

Skeleton Leaf Decay Photo
"Tis but an hour ago since it was nine;
And after one hour more 'twill be eleven;
And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe,
And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot;
And thereby hangs a tale."
 - As You Like It quote by William Shakespeare

A few Octobers ago, I photographed a leaf that clearly exhibited zombie decay. This autumn I found a tree that had several skeleton leaves still clinging to its branches. Humans aren't the only things that dress up for Halloween.

    Whoah! That's kind of creepy. Sort of reminds me of a spider web.

    I love skeleton leaves and often wonder why sometimes they go like that and other times they don't!

Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first?
