Part of our time while I'm visiting my friend in Hawaii is spending time at the Manoa Heritage Center to gather the information she needs for her botanical drawing project. While plants aren't may main photographic interest, it's also been good practice for me. Plants in many ways are like architectural images -- all about structure and form. This is a frond from the Loulu plant -- a type of palm tree - I liked all its leading lines.
plants provide such wonderful lines, shapes and also colours

Works great in b and w. I can imagine lots of different potential crops but this works great

The lines look like pleats in the frond, very cool.

Wonderful shape and lines! How interesting to be helping your friend with her project which sounds fascinating! I hadn’t realised you were in Hawaii - what a fabulous place to be able to meet up with your friend! Are you enjoying the warmer weather?

This is lovely. At first I thought it was the underside of a mushroom.

I spy with my little eye something beginning with "leading lines." Super

I'd never have guessed 'plant' if you hadn't said it ... this is super. Great lines.

Cracking shot, such strong lines and structure.

Great lines, the b&w brings out the shapes even more

I agree - much to compare in natural structures and architectural ones. There isn't much that nature hasn't done first. We are just imitators. This is a great show of the plant structure .

Love the structural form of this leaf/plant...it makes me comprehend how some architects use nature to influence their designs.,
