It seems bees have take a shine to one of my trees. It takes a piece of a leaf and then comes back a couple of minutes later, so there must be a nest nearby
Cropped, taken on an FZ200, handheld, and slightly sharpened. I really am amazed that the chlorophyll structures are visible! The lighting on the green caught my eye.
“O hushed October morning mild, Thy leaves have ripened to the fall; Tomorrow’s wind, if it be wild, Should waste them all. The crows above the forest call; Tomorrow they may form and go. O hushed October morning mild, Begin the hours of this day slow. Make the day seem to us less brief. Hearts not averse to being beguiled, Beguile us in the way you know. Release one leaf at break of day; At noon release another leaf; one from our trees, one far away. Retard the sun with gentle mist; Enchant the land with amethyst. Slow, slow! For the grapes’ sake, if the were all, Whose elaves already are burnt with frost, Whose clustered fruit must else be lost– For the grapes’ sake along the all.”
Robert Frost
A leaf from one of my favourite trees. The Ginkgo (Ginkgo Biloba) is one of the few tree species that has remained unchanged for millions of years, fossils can be found of ginkgo leaves that are identical to those of trees that still survive today.
I picked this leaf from a tree growing right next to St Paul's Cathedral in London earlier today, laid it on the path and took this photo.
A single leaf clings to this sapling in the woods behind the house. Gaston County, NC, USA. Canon T6i, 1/160, f8, -1/3 EV, ISO 400, Canon EF-S18-55 IS @ 47mm, RAW. 1/15/2017
