Saturday Self-Challenge: An autumn or Spring themed "card" in celebration of SSC's first anniversary

I had hoped to get some amazing shots at either Longwood Gardens or Winterthur, but in the end, I found the best photo under a huge oak tree in my own back yard. The tree is still mostly green, but there were just enough deep crimson colored leaves to capture a taste of autumn.

My sincerest thanks to all you wonderful members of SSC for participating in the challenges and for sharing your beautiful photos with us; I hope we have many more challenges together! :-))
