ribs and veins

apologies if you looked and commented on the version of this that I just uploaded. I wasn't happy with the colours when I put it on here.

My main reason for yesterday's trip to the butterfly farm was to look for some 'patterns in nature' for this week's theme. This plant was growing in a big pond - I have no idea what it is called but loved the colours and effect of the light shining through the leaves.

Early uploading today as I have got lots to do including visiting my parents before they go off to Cornwall for the week next week and coming to back to deal with various admin and computer issues that I have been burying my head in the sand about. Weather is looking very promising at the moment, but more showers and cold are forecast.
Great shot and pattern.

A fabulous picture, I love the colours. I think I know this plant, I cant remember its name , but it is very large?

@windridge Thanks Susan. Yes, I guess it was over 6 feet tall.

Oh fab - I've been sooo lazy with this week's theme. I have some admin stuff that I just keep avoiding - I need to pin myself down & have a good talk to myself...
