I was taking a short break from an early morning outing in Cades Cove and happened to spot this event just before I place my coffee mug on the leaf.

James: Another great find from you in recognizing the leaf skeleton. I had to look carefully at first to see that this is a leaf but once observed it makes the image all the more delightful. Top notch shot. >=))>
James, the leaf skeleton contrasts well with the moss. This tells well the story of decay and regrowth.
