HAPPY NEW YEAR 2-0-1-9 !!!
This is a 'new' species of butterfly that I discovered on one of our houseplants today :)
Actually one of the leaves had dropped onto the floor and instead of throwing it away, I decided to get creative. I placed the leaf in the window so it would be nicely backlit, then put my D600, paired with the 105mm macro, lens on my tripod. I captured a few images, edited one in Aperture, edited again in picmonkey.com, and this was the final result.
This lovely critter has four leaves for wings and it's ready to flutter happily into the new year. May its flight, and all YOUR endeavors in the new year, wing their way to health, happiness, and beautiful living!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2-0-1-9 !!!!!!!!!!

Waiting for a train one autumn morning, saw this pile of fallen maple leaves. A bright, colourful leaf had just fallen on the older, more faded ones.
To return to Gaston Bachelard’s psychoanalytic reflections on fire, this French philosopher wrote: We are almost certain that fire is precisely the first object, the first phenomenon, on which the human mind reflected; among all phenomena, fire alone is sufficiently prized by prehistoric man to wake in him the desire for knowledge, and this mainly because it accompanies the desire for love. And also: The conquest of the superfluous gives us a greater spiritual excitement than the conquest of the necessary. Man is a creation of desire, not a creation of need.

Have been busy playing with hot wax... though not a great deal to show for myself.... its very hard to photograph.... here is this morning's work... a leaf that's been pressed into slightly warm clear wax, then two colours of wax painted around it... finally the leaf removed and oil stick rubbed in to emphasize the veins and the edges.
The leaf was from a London Plane tree - many of which line the roads here in Bristol.
