Pathways of life: Nature’s botanical ‘mother board’?

This close-up of the underside of a large Philodendron bipinnatifidum leaf looks really, really cool. But I’ll run with the B&W challenge, MaryBeth! At least for a bit!

I also had some cool close-ups of an orchid. But like the leaf shot above, I can reproduce those shots later.

Not just a little bit! You gotta' run the whole race now! Haha! I love this! The shapes, contrast, the lines.....almost an abstract. Nice

@espyetta The whole race it is, MaryBeth! I'm kinda hooked now!

@rhoing Me too. It has been a challenge, and something different...so fun!
