buttercream blanket
Posted by bekkah (Pennsylvania, United States) on 4 November 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
I'm not sure what type of tree these fell from, but they looked less like leaves and more like petals from a flower. They created a beautiful buttercream blanket over the grass and sidewalk :)

Beautiful. I think these look like ginko leaves. That's my guess.

A simple, yet very effective, composition. Love the detail seen in the leaves and their golden color. VF is right. They are leaves from a gingko biloba tree. I have a gingko tree and it's amazing how just about every year all the leaves fall from the tree within an hour's time creating the blanket you speak of, particularly when there is no wind. The only drawback is the smell of the fruit once it has fallen from the tree and starts to rot.

@Steven: Thank you! I didn't noticed any fallen fruit...I'll be sure to keep my distance when I do :)

Makes me want to pull this blanket around me.
Gorgeous color that Buttercream. These are Ginko leaves, and I agree..they look like petals. :-)
