Leaves, leaves, leaves

I had a shoot this weekend during which I found a beautiful leaf that truly doesn't look like it could belong in West Texas. It was so big and so well preserved and so pretty that I just had to take pictures of it.

I love the red that bled through from the sun shining through it.

Raven held it up for more sun to shine through it. You can see somewhat the size of this leaf. It was the size of a dinner plate easily.
