From December 16, 2006 to January 14, 2007, Botany Photo of the Day is going to be featuring photo abstracts posted with little or no scientific commentary. If abstracts aren't to your taste, please consider revisiting the site in mid-January. – Daniel
An early-falling leaf of 'Lane Roberts' sweetgum on the brown grass of late summer.
A brief note: the garden's web site will be offline today during part of the late afternoon (local time). The servers hosting the web site and various databases are moving to a new room within the same building.

There is nothing wrong with abstract qua abstract but a botanical illustration it aint.
