Found this leaf bug (katydid) in Rosalind Park yesterday morning, didn't notice it until I was looking closely at the plant it is on, wanted a shot of the red leaves with water drops with some green in the background, I think this is better though!
This shot is 100% completely untouched by any photo-editing software. Straight from my camera to you! This wasn't taken with my usual S5200, but it was stil taken with a Fujifilm Finepix. I thought I'd share it because I do like the outcome.
It's been almost two months since autumn colors began to descent from Velebit's peaks towards coast and finally they've reached the shore these days.
On the way to Krk island this past weekend I was yet again surprised by colors in Senjska Draga valley, while descending from Vratnik pass to Senj, because they still were present even in higher elevations.
Senjska Draga has incredibly diverse flora which changes from Mediterranean to mountainous in very short distance, and beech forest begins at only 200m above sea, which is incredible and unique to this valley. It is the influence of cold continental air which spills over the Vratnik pass that made this possible. Maple is also abundant and so is Klen, its local colorful subspecies, which just adds to the palette. And those are just a few most important among dozens of tree species that mix on these slopes.
On some places strong west wind made blizzard like driving conditions, but this time not with cold white stuff, but fallen leafs...

Edward John Waring was an English practitioner of Indian pharmacology. Waring was at the service of the East India Company in which he undertook the duties of assistant-surgeon in the Madras establishment where he remained throughout the Burmese war. The post gave him charge of Mergni in the Tennasserim provinces, a remote place over 1,000 miles from Calcutta. Transportation difficulty during the war caused the drug supplies of Mergni to run short and Waring sought native medicines, an investigation which led him to study the properties of indigenous plants of India, and eventually to publish this work. It was published in English and Tamil in 1860, and later translated into Malyalim and the Karen languages of Burma

Bassareus clathratus - this one looks a lot like the fourteen-spotted leaf beetle found a couple days ago in the same general area.
You will find that I am often looking at the ground in search of interesting single leaf compositions

Out walking and took this photo intentionally moving the camera. My wife thinks it just looks out of focus. I like the blur.
Liked the colours on this one, looked a bit weird laying across the path taking a picture of a leaf though!
Leaf Monoprint
Print made by inking each leaf individually, often with several colour mixes. Using tweezers, each leaf is then placed individually onto an inked plate and printed using a press made from a converted mangle.
