Even though I have mostly moved on from photos of leaves to photos of snow and ice, it is still officially fall for another 8 days. I wasn’t especially thinking of that when I took these photos in the woods behind my house this afternoon. I was just admiring the way the fern leaves curled and contrasted with the sharp straight lines of the pine needles.
The late afternoon sun also cast some crisp sharp shadows on these crisp leaves.

Very nice colors in the first image. I really like the curving leaves. Makes a nice composition.
ooh, I agree with you about the contrast between the pine needles and the curved ferns!
