Arthropod. Unlike grasshoppers and crickets, both male and female katydids make sounds by rubbing their forewings (front wings) together to “sing” to each other. Katydids hear each other with ears on their front legs. They just have to move their front legs to hear in any direction! Katydids spend most of their time at the tops of trees where most of the leaves are, and they can jump up to 20 times their body length!
As I was walking through the forest, I noticed a particularly red Eucalyptus leaf growing about eye-level. Photographed in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney Australia, along the Grand Canyon Loop trail.
Leaf from the Bullocks Heart tree. (This is what my mother called it but I cannot find anything by that name that looks like this).The actual leaf is heat shaped with this spider web mesh of red veins.
The first design from a friend. A bring-all-edges-to-the-center type of model with some simple but effective variations.
Folded from a hexagon cut off from a 20 x 20 cm of Agua Papel paper.
“Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore. There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf.”

I was on a lunchtime walk solo today, and zipping along past the golf course I noticed this leaf in the most amazing back light.
It looks like some kind of crazy emboss filter had been applied to it, so it got snapped. :)
This was taken weeks ago while driving through West Virginia. As much as I love the autumn and all it's awesomeness, I admit to feeling a little pang in my chest while being reminded of how fleeting summer is this year.
Leaf of the American Hazelnut (Corylus americana) starting to show fall colors. The striking illumination is caused by backlighting from a low angle sun whose rays barely grazed the back of the leaf, highlighting only the parts that protruded downward the most: the veins and the lower part of the leaf.
