Velvet Case

My husband pointed out this beautiful jewel in a leaf of one of our plants today.

He did a good job. Did you ask him to have that set for you?
So pretty.

@cdonohoue thanks, Cathy! I think it is best viewed au naturel instead of in a setting! ;~}

[Tara]

Wow- what a macro! It does look like velvet. Wonderful detail Katy!

What a wonderful jewel. How nice that your husband pointed it for you. Really beautiful, Katy. BTW, I'm safe back at home after a very nice escape with my mother. It was great to meet Leslie... did you see our shot for you?

[katy]

@anazad511 Thanks for you kind comments about this shot and I sure did see the one you two made for me! I should have tagged you in it! It was so wonderful to see the two of you together! I hope you had a great time getting together! Glad you are safely home!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

I think this might be the rare case of the leaf showing up the water drop! :0)

[katy]

@espyetta It was definitely a difficult choice to figure out which to feature.

[PasadenaRose]

Lovely! It's so great that your hubby acts as an accomplice.

Is that an elephant ear?

[katy]

@pasadenarose He often points shots out to me.I think it is an elephant ear. I have some other similar plants there and I can't remember which one this was on.
