Friday's #Mayleaves theme is #Golden
I am a big fan of the #Ginkgo Biloba tree in the autumn. Its colors vary from vibrant to muted.

Photo of a ginkgo biloba tree's leaves in autumn #1 Macro Sharp and damp from a recent rain. They are browning on the tips. Soon they will fall and provide for the tree's future. Photo of a ginkgo biloba tree's leaves in autumn #2 The leaves have reached their pinnacle for the season. The sun illuminates their golden lives, sharpens them, and the background fades into memory like the summer past. Photo of a ginkgo biloba tree's leaves in autumn #3 A single sharp leaf fresh after a rainfall fall it glistens gold with diamond droplets. It is new growth, just beginning its cycle. Photo of a ginkgo biloba tree's leaves in autumn #4 Close up on a vibrant bunch of leaves. Shining golden yellow in the overcast light. Damp from the rain the night before.

So when you look up and see the sky's art
Remember rainbows live deep in your heart

For freedom and love stand up we all must
In this spectrum there's space for all of us.

This just seems to have a ton of texture leaves, twigs, and deep camellias. The twigs are so washed out as to be neutral. Small plot of burgundy camellias wandering through grass, dead leaves and twigs
