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.

Great set! They show amazing details and the colors and lighting are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWow...look at that texture! Amazing captures, David.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, like the skin of an ancient animal. I love the structures!
ReplyDeleteIsn'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?
