September 18, 2012 -- wildflowers and leaves

This is windowsill arranging at its purest--just things I gathered on my walk this morning (and a couple of things that were already in the windowsill). From left to right: a red tupelo leaf, some tickseed sunflowers combined with a yellow sweet gum leaf, a ripening avocado, some sumac leaves, blackend stems of Queen Anne's lace, more tickseed sunflowers, and a vase that includes a red sweet gum leaf, a yellow maple leaf, and a twig of wild grape.
