Aren't we forgetting our friends in the southern hemisphere who are in Spring now?

Great point Tim! As a forum that is global in membership (one of our best qualities), we do want to ensure that we do not get too narrow in our perspective or have conditions that may limit participation. I have added a few lines in the contest description to make sure every is aware that all leaf types meet the October theme (tree, plant, flower, etc). I do appologise if my description in the contest appeared too seasonally North American. I look forward to seeing many different type of leaves from around the world.

Good luck in the contest everyone!

Perhaps we could call it leaves, going and coming...just a thought.

 Thanks for the thought but don't worry, us southerners will be there.
We don't have that many deciduous trees in Aussie,  most have their leaves all year round.

We do have some Autumn (Fall) leaves (feb/march/april) but they are mostly not native to Australia.
So you have the "DROP"  on us I guess.

[bramela]

 I decided to change my entry. Hope it works OK

[dsport]

I also decided to change my entry.
Thanks.

I have struggled with this one. But here is my entry.

Just realised I can't use this as it is already in my gallery 

Will find another and try again

Being spring here young new growth seems i order from me, spam bots raiding I see.

[daacon]

To combat xjjohonno - early fall here which can range from summer to winter temperatures so I'll keep ya guesing.

[Terje-L]

Some leaves didn't make it to the ground before the snow arrived...

[Rupert]

Our leaves show no sign of turning yet, so can I import some leaves from up north? I have friends there that will send me a few, and one that may send me a box of walnuts for my squirrels. What about the poor souls in Oklahoma? I've been there a time or two, and if they have trees, they must keep them inside?
Regards!

Think broader.... it can be any type of leaf / leaves. Look into flowers....
