So, fairly straightforward, but I appreciate word-play. So, this month's theme is Leaves -- like:



or


or colourful leaves or whatever. But since it also has a different meaning:


which was taken at an airport - which everyone leaves.

So stretch it as much as you want.

{Moderator Matt's addition:
A timely theme.
Here is the link to the Guidelines: https://www.photrio.com/forum/threa...5-07-2019-07-and-2021-12.126124/#post-1667700
A reminder - shot on film please. Please be sure to note whether submissions are "NEW" - taken in October 2023 -or "OLD" - taken before this month.
I'll do my magic with Sticky threads and I'll update the list of themes thread as well.

I'll try to avoid submissions about eating and shooting
Looking out the window right now - this should be a good year for the theme.
 
Or here - an old one:
 
Not eligible ... as at a later date we scanned and edited it quite a bit in Photoshop, ... but nonetheless wanted to share it

Very old one, from Oct 2009, before we learned how to develop, scan and print our own images
Cropped, edited and lightly sharpened later in 2018 ;-)
Portra 160vc 35mm

 
These are all platanus tree leaves and old.

October 2018, Olympus OM2S, probably 135mm f/3,5, Kodak 400TX, homebrew Xtol:



December 2020, Canon EOS 300V, EF 100mm f/2,8 macro, Kodak Gold 200, homebrew C41:

New - shot yesterday, print today. Pile of Leaves. This is a lith print on Kodak Polycontrast Rapid RC expired sometime before there were cable news networks.



My scan doesn't replicate the tone very well.

My scan doesn't replicate the tone very well.

But as noted time does not seem to hurt the usability of the Kodak Polycontrast Rapid RC. Nice print.
 
Cacti from the succulent family, the spines are extreme versions of leaves.

Shen Hao HZX45-IIA Ilford FP4+ Fujinon f/6.3 250mm lens. No filter, 11mm front fall 1/8 at f/22. Taken at what is possibly Australia's best Cacti Farm, located in Lightening Ridge.

 
Photographed this morning. So far, autumn colors are looking muted and dry.
 
We are halfway through the month. Let's get some more photos posted.
