Out taking a few leaf pics this weekend - really interesting looking at some of these close up.

Earth Angel

{{gwi:1069941}}

Ginko Craig - counted at least 6 colors in the layers

{{gwi:921525}}

Liberty - from afar they look like two colors - I counted at least 7 shades - very cool

{{gwi:1069942}}

On Stage - neat greening in the veins

{{gwi:1069943}}

Pilgrim

{{gwi:1044989}}

Sleeping Beauty

{{gwi:954754}}

Spring Fling - a subtle grey-green transition color

{{gwi:1052606}}

Stained Glass

{{gwi:1069944}}

Usually so busy and see so little - fun to focus on a single leaf and enjoy.

Do you have some favorite leaf pics to add?

LOVE those close-ups! THAT is why I collect them. Those leaves are like watercolor paintings. The landscape photos are simply beautiful, but to really appreciate each hosta is to hold a leaf in your hand and just gaze...

Thanks,

As soon as the foggy conditions lift I'm going out and take some close ups myself.

Yours are so beautiful.

If they turn out as well as yours I plan on using them as pictures in my kitchen.

I would take leaf pictures of some of mine, but they all have holes in them. So I'll just admire all of your beautiful pictures.
