I usually take pics of things that are full of life - flowers in bloom, trees, plants, veggies, etc. Then I noticed that plants in decay have their own different sort of charm. Lots of unique patterns, whorls, brown-tones, gray tones, twisted shapes. I thought the interesting shapes and whorls of this brown curled leaf were interesting.

All plants are from my back yard. Taken with a Nikon Cool Pix 995 digital camera and lightly PhotoShopped.
