Veins form delicate patterns branching into smaller and smaller veins that form the framework of the leaf.
Better Large-A re-cut of a previous picture that needed to be brought up to date. Driving through the US, I could stop and take pictures everyday, summer, winter, spring, and fall. Personally, I try to take pictures that represent a particular area. The northern Midwestern states bloom in the summer with the wheat fields! 0030

Every Season Has Its Own Glory (JHWatkins)
Every season has its own glory,
Every purpose has its own time,
Every moment has its own story,
Every story has its own line.
I have walked deep into cities,
Shining brightly never to fail,
Listened to heart cries,
Lost in the morning,
Standing on corners
Stagnant and stale.
Where is the hope
That brought forth the laughter?
Where is the song?
The music unveiled?
Why are the choices so
Wasted and bitter?
Gathered in hatred,
Broken and pale.
I have seen (new) stars on the mountains,
Fed on the movement of heaven and earth-
Free on the framework
Of perfect perspective,
Fueled by the turning of terrible truth.
Come now and sing of mists in the forest,
Sensual sonnets of songs in the dirt-
Come and behold the delicate balance
Of seasons and reasons and rhythms
And birth.
There are the voices lost in confusion,
Crushed in the thriving, deepening swale-
Calloused and cold the circling conveyance,
Crippled emotion commotion prevails.
Beacons in quiet of last true performance,
Heralded nature in singular cause-
Perfect and pure
Though wasted and slandered.
Washed by confession
In smoldering awe.
Severed connections, squandered projections-
Revered reflections of stammering tongues-
Coined by controlling contriving convections,
In different directions now written in stone.
Now is the time to look to the heavens,
Now is the moment to take up the cause,
Now is the voice of blazing amazement,
Borne on the winds of the gathering storm.
Listen to stream, listen to forest,
Listen to flower, and staggering fawn-
Listen to voices rolling like thunder,
Come drink of the waters
And dance with the dawn.
Wrapped in the garments of natural beauty,
Facing the force of the burgeoning call-
Strong in the seasons of life and creation,
Firm on foundations that never will fall.

In this stillness that is at the same time movement, in this darkness that is at the same time light, change is found not in the realm of ideas but in the energizing desire that is realized through precipitation. Desire tends towards its own realization and change takes place when the desire for it shatters the bounds of the possible, breaking the dialectical equilibrium holding together the framework of what is existent. It is at such moments that the imaginary flows into the real and overwhelms it, inundating it until it has been absorbed.

LORENZO LOTTO
Nel 1523 Lotto dipinge la Natività , una piccola tavola (cm 46 x 36) conservata alla National Gallery of Art di Washington.
La Natività è destinata a un'abitazione privata come dicono le piccole dimensioni. È un quadro pensato per la devozione di una famiglia. L'incarnazione si sposta dal luogo di culto, dove ci si reca a pregare, alle stanze di un palazzo in cui la giornata vorrebbe essere illuminata dalla memoria di Cristo. Il mistero lo si vuole prossimo, dentro le mura domestiche.

In 1523 Lotto depicts the Nativity, a small board (46 x 36 cm) in the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
The Nativity is destined to a private home as they say the small size. It is a framework designed for the devotion of a family. The incarnation is moved from the place of worship, where people go to pray, to the rooms of a building where the day would be illuminated by the memory of Christ. The mystery you want next, inside their home.

The Rue du Rempart-Sud, a narrow lane in the old heart of the village of Eguisheim, Alsace, France
Some background information:
The village of Eguisheim is located in the French département of Haut-Rhin in the Grand Est region of France, just about 7 km (4.5 miles) to the southwest of the city of Colmar. Eguisheim has more than 1,700 residents and borders on the Alsace Wine Route. Wine of very high quality is grown here, mainly on shell limestone soil. The village’s municipal area belongs to the Ballons des Vosges Nature Park and lies on the eastern slopes of the Vosges, where many great wines are produced.
In early historic times the area was inhabited by the Gaul tribe of the Senones. In the Roman Age, there was most likely already a castellum on the spot of Eguisheim and it used to be the Romans who developed the cultivation of wine in the Alsace region. The counts of Eguisheim, who ruled the municipal territory in the Early and High Middle Ages, descended from Charlemagne, who was King of the Franks and King of the Lombards in the second half of the 8th century, as well as Roman Emperor and ruler of western and central Europe as from the year 800.
In 1048, Count Bruno of Eguisheim raised to the papacy and thenceforth called himself Pope Leo IX. Right after his burial 1054 in the St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, he was already venerated as a saint by the Catholic Church. In the Middle Ages, a castle was built right in the centre of the Eguisheim, whose further history is closely related to the history of the Château de Eguisheim,
The castle was long believed to date from the 11th or 12th century. This was because historians were relying on texts actually describing another castle, the Château de Haut Eguisheim, which used to be the birthplace of Pope Leo IX in 1002 (who is named "Saint-Léon" in French). But In fact, the castle's octagonal plan and central keep, its masonry and, most importantly, its similarity to other castles date it to the first part of the 13th century.
Built by the counts of Eguisheim, the castle was taken over by the Bishop of Strasbourg during the second half of the 13th century. Until the French Revolution in 1789, episcopal bailiffs occupied it for many centuries. In 1444, the building was temporarily occupied by so-called Écorcheurs (in English: "cutthroats"), demobilised mercenaries, who devastated parts of France after the Armagnac–Burgundian Civil War. During the Thirty Years' War, the château served as a repository for the church treasure of Husseren-les-Châteaux.
Originally the Château de Eguisheim was surrounded by a moat, but by the 18th century, the moat was filled in. Houses built in the castle courtyard and against its walls were destroyed by a fire in 1877 which also damaged the castle. Subsequently, it was left in ruins for several years. In 1885, the castle was again bought by the Bishop of Strasbourg. He organised the architect Charles Winkler to restore the residence and preserve the lower part of the circular wall. Furthermore, it was Winkler’s task to demolish the remains of the former keep and build a neo-Romanesque chapel in its place. This chapel, which is visible in the centre of my picture, was completed in 1895.
Today, the village is a popular tourist destination, not only because the Alsace Wine Route passes Eguisheim, but also because the commune is ranked in the top 20 of the association "The most beautiful villages of France" (in French: "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France"), which promotes small and picturesque French villages of quality heritage. Currently 164 villages throughout France are pooled under the umbrella of the organisation. In 2013, Eguisheim was even voted the "Village préféré des Français" (in English: "Favourite French Village"), an annual distinction that passes from town to town throughout France.
