This is a wonderful little metal purse in the design of a swan that Ken bought for me years ago! I love it! :)

Leaf: a lateral outgrowth from a plant stem that is typically a flattened expanded variably shaped greenish organ, constitutes a unit of the foliage, and functions primarily in food manufacture by photosynthesis and transpiration in most plants.
Darmera peltata (Indian rhubarb or, ambiguously, "umbrella plant") is a flowering plant, the only species within the genus Darmera in the family Saxifragaceae. It is a slowly spreading rhizomatous perennial native to mountain streamsides in woodland in the western United States (southwestern Oregon to northwestern California), growing to 2 m (6 ft 7 in) tall by 1 m (3 ft 3 in) wide.
In late spring the flowers emerge before the leaves, with rounded cymes of numerous five-petalled white to bright pink flowers (measuring up to 1.5cm across each) borne on flower stems up to 2m long. The leaves are peltate, rounded, deeply lobed, coarsely toothed, conspicuously veined and dark green, also on stems up to 2m in height. The leaves turn red in autumn.
In gardens, Darmera peltata flourishes in pond margins and bog gardens, where it forms an imposing umbrella-like clump. It is suited to smaller gardens where there is no room for Gunnera manicata or Gunnera tinctoria, unrelated plants that are somewhat similar in appearance, but much larger.

Darmera peltata, of schildblad is een typische plant voor bij het water. Van nature komt hij voor bij beekjes in Noord-Amerika. Daarom moet hij in natte grond staan.
Daarnaast zijn de grote bladeren ook een prachtig gezicht naast een vijver of stroompje. Deze bladeren worden schildvormig genoemd. Vandaar de Nederlandse naam en de Latijnse soortaanduiding peltata, dat schildvormig betekent. Een blad is meestal 20 tot 25 centimeter lang maar kan wel eens uitgroeien tot een halve meter in doorsnee. De bladstelen kunnen wel een meter hoog worden. In de herfst kan het blad mooi verkleuren en geel tot rood worden. Daarna worden ze bruin en vouwt het blad zich dicht tot een soort beursje.
Op zich voldoende reden om van deze plant te houden, maar hij heeft nog een bijzonderheid. Voordat het blad verschijnt, bloeit deze plant. Dat doet hij in april/mei op kale stengels zonder blad. Daarom wordt schildblad ook wel een ‘naaktbloeier’ genoemd. De prachtige bloemen zijn wit met een roze hart en opvallende gele meeldraden.

I love the green metallic shine on this bee and I followed the bee as it went around this thistle flower collecting nectar.

This image was taken last year when we visited the transport museum in Lucerne, Switzerland. This is a small part of a life size AC Cobra made of scrap metal parts.
Closeup of a Royal Palace Prince daylily in my wife’s garden. I was struck by the near edges of the petals. They almost looked like they were made of metal.
"This is, by far, the shiniest cave I think I've ever seen!"
I wanted to try creating a cave out of aluminium foil like I've seen Lynn and Four Bricks Tall do. I took a lot of shots but these two came out the best. With all the foil reflecting light everywhere, it tended to look flat; it needed some light and shadow to suggest more depth or a path, etc. So I went in with Photoshop and added shadows to carve out some volume.
