out in the garden this week i was reminded how it’s not just the flowers that are pretty and beautiful, but also the leaves. all so very different from one another, be it in colour, shape or size, all the lines and patterns that they have on their surface, and the shape and textures that they create as they layer upon one another. so i decided there and then that this weeks how does your garden grow will be all leafy. so i started snapping away at the various leaves in our back yard, when i stumbled across a little monkey hiding amongst those leaves too.

You are so right – there’s much beauty in leaves. I particularly like the acer looking leaves – so feathery and pretty. Beautiful post x

ah, as I scrolled down I didn’t know what kind of little monkey I would find, he is gorgeous, I have one the same size of a different flavour 🙂 Great variety of leaves!

What a lovely idea – you are so right – they’re all so lovely, including the little fella at the end 🙂
and green is a winter colour so i co-ordinate very nicely with them!
Really beautiful photos – I must pay attention to the leaves 🙂
thank you charly, keep an eye out for those leaves!
Beautiful variety of leaves! it’s amazing that some people think non-flowery plants are boring.
i know! shocking. thing is you do gravitate to the flowers first. stop and look at the leaves i say!
