After publishing a photo of autumn leaves, I have one more to show off. This time I added a quarter to give you an idea of the size. I’m following the advice of a great photographer whose blog I follow on WordPress, linked here.

I left the leaf on the counter, and friend Brit noticed it as soon as she walked in the kitchen. I gave the background, and she picked it up and put it on like a hat. If only I’d had my camera in my hand and not in my pocket! She had a busy day ahead and rushed off.

I held grandson David hostage while he quickly ate his dinner before going to work. I asked him to wear the leaf hat so that I could get a photo of it. He was sweet to humor me. I can see now that it would have looked much more appropriate on Brit’s head, because it looks like the mobcap of a Colonial woman.
