In many parts of the country, it's time for falling leaves, raking leaves, mulching leaves and simply admiring them. Leaves needn't be of the Autumnal variety so participation is possible for all.
We had our first sprinkle of snow this week. On my walk, I found the first 2 leaves.
Participation is open to all. Participate by clicking the "reply" button below and attach your image and your reply.

P. 36 Is the first pic a Clematis? Flower looks familiar but the leaves are different than I'm used to. Nice set!
not sure what it is, I saw in at a house we were working on in Southern Louisiana

p.36 Oh, Kat --glad you enjoyed it and thanks for participating. In this series the lady bug on the leaf edge is fantastic! Enjoyed them all but enthralled by the last image - an "unknown" to me.
I am not sure what plant that is...saw it at the Denver Botanical Gardens

I believe that your pink flower is a wild rose which grow all over the country. I've found them growing next to streams in Ohio. I googled it and the flower and the leaves on your pink flower match the pictures on the site.
I included a paragraph describing the wild rose below.
The botanical term for wild rose is "species rose", which means just what it says — a species that occurs naturally, with no help from man — a true "wildflower." There are over 100 of these worldwide, some native to North America, many from the Orient and Europe. These true wild roses are all single with exactly five petals — never more, and almost all of them are pink, with a few whites and reds, and even fewer that range toward yellow. (By the way, there are now over 20,000 hybrids, with about 200 new ones every year.)

Thank you for your kind comments. I suspect having fun and enjoying the process is the main reason most of us engage in photography.

Wow! You can’t even see the horizon on number 4. The tree line just seems to float in the sky.
