This weeks photo challenge was "Colors of Nature"
Specifically Foliage
(Leaves, Flowers and Branches)
Like everyone else so far, I had problems deciding which photo I liked best but below are the ones I decided to post...
Prickly Pear Cactus
Due to everyone who left comments I put the Cactus as my choice for the challenge, lol...Nice thing about it being your blog you can change things around...
My favorite! But then they all are, lol... 
The plumbago above was Fred's pick.
Cockle Burrs
I learned something new today when I looked the above wildflower up in my reference books. It is called False Annual Broomweed and it is all over the pasture. But I read it is an eye irritant to livestock and humans. So now I know why Julie's eyes have been tearing up, interesting. I always thought it was a type of baby's breath but it isn't and in the old'en days the settlers used to cut it and put it together to use it as a broom, hence the name "Broomweed".

All are nice shots!! The 1st is my fav. Nice bokeh!
Yup the top would also have been my pick. But I also really like the last one and the one above Fred's pick....just for its neutral tones and texture.

You're pictures this week are marvelous!! You have captured so much texture and really Autumn colors....Texas style!! I love the regional difference between all of our pictures!!

They're all beautiful. I love the autumn (fall) colours, and the plumbago is my favourite too, that was my Nan's favourite colour.
I can't argue about the cactus but I do LOVE the 2nd one! And I love the monochromatic tones of the 4th! Your shots are always incredible and these are no exception!
