Hydrangea quercifolia, blooms in early summer.

A friend commissioned this mirror from a local craftsman, I like the way the light looks almost like the moon just as the leaves look almost like a real tree.

I visited the Butterfly Place again today in Westford, Massachusetts. It's a medium-sized indoor butterfly sanctuary, with many varieties.

On, would you believe, an oak leaf.

The butterfly wings are shaped like a leaf when in the closed position. The veins are darkened and resemble the veins of a leaf. The resemblance to a dried leaf is extremely realistic and gives the genus its common name, viz Oakleaf or Dead Leaf. Amazing creature!
