Taking pictures (and also scanning) some very beautiful leaves:

Update [November 9] – 13:30-15:15
I continued today with leaves photography – With the leaves photography from previous days, in some of which the scans and/or photos did not come out well enough and today there was relatively good lighting which led to better results. Also, more new leaves from today’s morning, that I photographed as well.
The weather has been windy all day and at the beginning of the photography, one leaf flew away with the wind. I continued as I wrote above, with photography of all the leaves from previous and new findings. I found a solution to hold the group of leaves in the lapel (or fold) of the shirt while I photograph each leaf individually so that no leaf will fly in the wind anymore.
Once I have finished documenting all the leaves, I went down to the grass to see if I could locate the leaf that flu away. The leaf was not found but during the search a very special leaf was found instead.
So, one was lost and one was found.
I am still learning photography and will continue through my entire life, with try different aspects of this such as: exposure, different kind of cameras and more. In this particularly instance, I am trying to understand the scope of distance (i.e. telescope) and more in particularly, “Macro” (i.e. microscope).
For that reason I will try to find suitable cameras or devices.
I decided to buy accordingly, small telescope, and small microscope, that are easy to handle and to carry around and also affordable.
Update [November 14] – Around 5PM
This is a leaf from a pear tree.
My best identification is that it is from “Pyrus calleryana” (also known as “Callery pear” and commonly known as “Bradford pear”), known for its offensive odor, is widely planted throughout the United States and increasingly regarded as an invasive species (Source WIKI).
Many mornings, outside and about 20 meters from the apartment building where I am renting, I see this beautiful tree with its amazing fallen leaves in vibrant colors.

I took this picture because I thought it wouldn’t dry enough before I went to bed at my usual time of 00:00, now 00:20 and it’s still not dry so I’ll just go to sleep and tomorrow when I wake up I’ll put the other side of the tape on.
Tomorrow:
* 07:10 – Placing the other side – Now it is sealed and completed!
The way it looks about 11 hours later
The finale – Sealed and finished
Update [November 18] – 13:30-15:15
I have somewhat basic and constant routine to keep my physical fitness, more or less. The day before yesterday I decided to return to another spot (a small theme park or garden) that I used to see on my runs and also occasionally doing basic anaerobic routine, other there. It was nice to return and do different exercised on the open air. Close by, at the corner and on the other side of the street, there are few tress with magnificent kind of leaves – I decided that on my next exercise routine, when I finish, to go over there to pick some wonderful fallen leaves and than, continue back home.
Today, between dddddd, was the exercise and after I took about 20 different leavas.
When I returned home and placed the pile of leaves on the table and began to sort and look upon the ‘little trophies’, I discovered to my surprise that one leaf was missing. I knew that I was not blind like “I could not tell that it was under my eyes” and I simply could not see it. I decided to go outside and walk all the way back – Retracting my route, step by step. Eventually, after about half the distance back to the same playground, I found it. It was not easy because it was dark, but I am not the type to give up.
