Leaf suspended by a thread of a spider's web. The lens was stopped way down and fill flash was used to give the leaf proper exposure, and black out the background.
Cadono le foglie – disse Cyrano con una strana intonazione nella voce – Come vengono giù dolcemente! Nel loro breve viaggio dal ramo alla terra pare che vogliano creare un ultimo attimo di bellezza, e pure nel terrore di marcire al suolo danno alla loro caduta la leggera grazia del volo.
(Edmond Rostand)
“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.”
Albert Schweitzer
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.
Also spotted in my shot - Ceramic Donkey - this is a leaf that is dying...that's it...nothing special
