A Cluster of Dead Leaves

While I was out this morning with Blip mate on our weekly blip hunt excursion, I also looked for leaves to add to my collection for the course  'A Year with my Camera.'

The tide was some distance out and the day, even before 9 am, was hot and glarey. I had better luck with the leaves than anything else, so here is a pic from the leaf collection.

The leaves were hanging at the end of a broken  branch.
