Leaf

Rick-a-Roo · 01-13-2019, 12:48 AM

Yesterday when doing a little weed-whacking in our front yard, I found this leaf.
I was struck by the delicate beauty of this fragile skeleton which apparently
had four 'berries' originally, but now has only one.

The beauty of the curvature and the exquisite lacework of this masterpiece of
nature's art quite made my day.

Kim took the pictures with her I-Phone 6.

Was that laying on your counter top?

Nice suttle contrast from the strength

of granite to the delicate leaf...

It's laying on a marble or granite tile that our outside cat sits on when feeding.

She's kind enough to allow that sort of thing.

Kim will appreciate the compliment, Ten; that I-Phone takes phenomenal pix;
these two lost some of the resolution when I reduced 'em to fit here, Originals
are really sharp.
