A leaf ballet...  by marlboromaam

A leaf ballet...

Who says young leaves can't dance? Aren't they graceful in their growth? Side by side like little ballerinas - I liked this shot... Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwa0c8VO71s
This is so beautiful

Lovely .. great dof, Maggie! Beautiful colors and clarity. I did one like this a few days ago and don't know their name. Do you?!! I'm so "illiterate" when it comes to plants, trees, etc. lol Take care my friend .. hope the storm passes you by!
