I'm fascinated by the variations that light can cause. This little leaf....
This one is as lovely as stained glass windows. I'll be playing with this leaf a lot more.
A few years ago, I decided I wanted to learn to paint abstracts, but I gave up. Nothing I could create could come close to pleasing my eye like these leaf photos. Nature already made all the art I need. I'm just learning to catch it so I can look at it whenever I want to.
Happy Friday from the land of the easily amused.
They are really beautiful and give me some ideas of my own. They do look like sculpture!
ReplyDeleteOh, my! If it weren't black dark outside just now, I'd be out collecting leaves to try the backlit macros. These are just wonderful, Mel!
ReplyDeleteAh. We both said similar things yesterday.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are lovely. I hope the new job is going well.
ReplyDeleteLove,

ReplyDeleteI remember when maple leaves were like currency. When you're a kid and you have no money, you still get to pick out your own leaves and take them to school and make art projects with them using construction paper, Lepage's library paste and a toothbrush and paint. Mom still wouldn't put them on the fridge, because we weren't so precious in the fifties, but it was grand.
ReplyDeleteWow, these are great. And you could paint them...fun to try for those colors.
