Yard — a word worth a 1000 pictures (#101-134)

I've noticed that leaves are as unique as blooms. Most people are excited about blooms but I find the texture, colour and shape of plant leaves just as appealing. I've put the title below each picture today so that you can guess at the type of leaf before you look at the title. For ones that I can't identify, feel free to chime in. Have fun!
