Cut-leaf Self-heal, Prunella laciniata, leaf about 28 mm long. A weed of moist and shaded areas. Dharawal National Park, NSW Australia, January 2014.
A leaf of a wild sown raspberry cane in my jungle of a garden, backlit by the setting sun, and nothing more.
Another heart shape for the "heart" group - I always look for them as I am walking around - this one is in my backyard.
Even Mother Nature is able to show her love through her plants and leaves... love is all over.... one just has to learn how to look closely....
Drosera tracyi
This is another one of our carnivorous plants, in the sundew group. You can see the tiny hairs glistening with a sticky substance, designed to catch prey for food. The leaves are tall, thin, and light green, and the large stands of them are easily seen on the roadsides, shining with the light caught on the glands.

I had a plan for my Sunday diary entry but it was short circuited by some very wacky dry season weather: Overcast most of the day with intermittent showers throughout the afternoon.
I had a couple of shots I was not really pleased with but it was all I had until I took Cayenne out back to pee.
When I flipped on a terrace light I saw this strange looking guy hanging a column just below the light. He was very cooperative, sitting motionless while I took a variety of shots both with and without flash. I've rotated this 90 degrees as he shows better horizontally.
The variety of strange looking insects here never ceases to fascinate me.
my parents live in the country, 5 acres in the middle of an old growth forest.
I grew up with a favorite tree...
it was my "secret place". I built forts underneath it, played "viking" (don't ask...I was never into Barbies though)
I read "my side of the mountain" and pretended I was lost and surviving out in the middle of nowhere.
until dinner.
I called the tree the Swiss Family Robinson tree because it was almost that huge.
I love going back to visit it~
