Nature’s art

No butterfly.
No moth.
(Photographed a caterpillar for the first time today but no caterpillar either!)
No creepy-crawly.
No “circle-of-life” shot.
Just a full-frame of a very large leaf in an outdoor garden adjacent to a greenhouse on campus. The garden has a butterfly bush, but they have same visitors we have at home and aren’t we all sick of Thom’s Buckeyes, Painted Ladies, fritillaries and swallowtails by now?

I like how evenly spaced are the whiter/lighter-green lines. But you could have guess that, right?

Awesome shot! Great angle, color, and texture! (However, I do like the creepy-crawlies, too...)

@ellen Less is indeed more sometimes. And yet when you think about what happens inside this "sheet," the conversion of sunlight to life and energy, it's not really so simple a subject! Simple photograph, but a complex aggregation of cells!

[Thom Mitchell]

@myautofocuslife Aww, thanks! Always happen to have smile-makers!

@sparkleplenty1 @lyoungs1023 @glendq @xtech Thank you, all! I may have to shoot this plant again. I walk by it every Tuesday and Thursday. Twice. :)

Wonderful lines like the simplicity
