Leaves and chunks of branches

Leaves:

 Some of the leaves I was finding were quite unusual and varied as there were many shapes, sizes, textures,colours, ages and patterns. The vast detail of leaves is fascinating: the dark spots, the crinkles, the dark outer, the change in colour, 

Also the evidence of bugs is very interesting, they leave bite holes, lumps of eggs and webs. Leaves are a documentation of there surroundings of bugs, types of trees, weather conditions, people and other animals.

Here are a a few of the many leaves I collected:

I also tried collecting chunks of branches as I like the bold contrast between the bark and the exposed branch, like the shell and the skin. However, in the area I was searching I didn't manage to find many chunks.
