Defiant Leaf Stands Up to Gravity and Wind!

It's a little out of focus, but you can clearly see here a fallen leaf that has decided to stay upright, erect, vertical! No lying down on the job for this leaf.

Imagine trying to make this leaf stand up...it would be very difficult or impossible! But on its own, propping itself with a tiny tendril, it is standing straight up, at least until wind, gravity or a kid on the bike ends its reach for the sky!
