MACRO MONDAY ~ CATALPA LEAF LANDSCAPE




I found these 2 dead leaves on one of the desks up at school. My friend was getting ready to toss them out, so I took them home. They looked just like a relief map I had at school....even down to the same colors! They are from a southern catalpa tree which is native to this part of Texas. They have some of the largest leaves of any tree here in the South. Happy Marcro Monday! Visit http://www.lisaschaos.com/ to see the rest of the entries.

  10. Isn't it wonderful how you can see echoes of other things in nature? Like the anatomy of lungs in a tree, or blood vessels in sand ripples and mini-waterways. Certainly your leaves do remind me of a relief map .. or is it the other way round?
