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.
