Savius jurgiosus (Stål, 1862). Found at Sabal Palm Sanctuary in far southern Texas. Cameron County, Texas, USA.

Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.

The edge of the leaf blade is called the leaf margin. Intramarginal veins occur just inside the leaf margin and run parallel to the margin. They can sometimes be very obvious but you usually have to look quite closely to see them.

Ok...so gossamer might be a bit of a stretch, but I think it does have a kind of transparency, thinly veiled appearance to it! It's my photo I can see what I want! :)

Look at all the colors in this old, dead leaf. Amazing.

Fallen leaf along the towpath in the CVNP, just south of Station Road bridge.

With some leaves, it’s the fine structure I like. With this one however, the subtle colour gradient is just as nice.

Also have a look at my website at www.focx.de :)

The baby leaf is still curling.

This is a Shiraz grape, another variety in the garden. This is its 2nd year so no grapes yet. (This image was created using a flatbed scanner.)

I was walking a trail I had never used in the Monmouth County Park System when I stopped to look around. I happened to watch as the white undersided leaf fell and came to rest on the broad green leaf. How quickly time moves on.

We use use these leaves when we got stung by stinging nettles when we were young so they were call dock leaves by rubbing them on the spot where we were stung, a simple image but the back light makes it interesting, very little processing was done pretty much strait out of camera.

Hope you like

I was using a new 10X converter, but the dof was very shallow to focus

This shows how with time a fallen leaf will lose its tissue leaving just the skeleton.
