    Joan, so glad you like the haiku! I'm not the poet, it's from Jane Reichhold's Aha Poetry website.

    I suppose that I haven’t considered foliage in the desert of Pima County. Yet here is one, its golden hue sitting on a shapely leaf. The shadow that results is wonderful and so nicely detailed...

    Might that be an aspen leaf? The beautiful gold of autumn.

    Hi Lindy, although it does look like an aspen leaf, it's from a cottonwood tree.

    Age spots are proof you are real, Diane. There is nothing more beautiful than the age-worn hand of someone you love. :)
