As my wife and I were having evening coffee together on the patio, this Hydrangea leaf in the garden, backlit with the warm light of the setting sun, caught my eye... I'm happy with how it turned out...
I adopted this seagrape leaf after finding it on a sidewalk. I took it home and hung it under my AC vent with a piece of thread. If you look closely you can see that the stem is broken. I noticed it was broken when I found it. And yet, after years of spinning around under the vent, it has not broken all the way off. It has been hanging here since at least 2012 and maybe earlier than that.
For those who are interested, the fruit produced by the seagrape are sort of a mix between sweet and sour and can be enjoyed when the fruit is ripened to a dark burgundy color. Don't eat the green ones.
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!
The Leaf-footed Bug (Bitta flavolineata) emits a foul scent and displays warning colours to predators.
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.
