MACRO MONDAY ~ NOTABLE LEAVES PLUS A BONUS BLOOM

These beautiful leaves are in my garden right now. They are pretty enough to hang on the Christmas tree, don't you think? Happy Macro Monday y'all. And be sure and visit Lisa at http://lisaschaos.com/ to see the rest of the collection. Merry Christmas from Tropical Texana. (Click on the photo to enlarge)  David  :0)
                               This scarlet leaf is from a pear tree down the street.
                                 From a small Sweetgum tree in our front yard.
                            Pomegranate leaves and their red petioles and square stems.
                           Nuttall Oak with Christmas colors.
                             Even the banana tree wants to add some Autumn color!
BONUS:  A lovely and fragrant Crinum lily still blooming at a neighbor's garden.

  5. You have a pomegranate tree? Okay, I now have a question----I just planted a tree last Spring. Do I have to cover the branches in freezing temps?

    My Macro Monday Link Do stop by for a visit if you can find time. Happy Holidays!
