Thinking about this week's Crazy Tuesday theme of "Trees and Leaves"and while our trees are just getting underway, the leaves seem to be turning brown and dropping at the same time. The jury's still out on a nice colorful Fall but we'll see in the upcoming days/weeks. I love the look of the hickory tree with it's compound leaf but I've already posted one of the leaflets so I needed something a bit different. I looked around the yard and this one grouping caught my eye. A hickory leaf with 3 leaflets, all brown but loaded with character (IMO), I knew it would be all about the lighting and this has a main light to the left and above camera, additional fill to the right and a bit from the back-top for a hair light. The grouping measures about 5 in. tall X 4 in. wide X 2 in. deep. I was hoping for a B&W conversion but the brown color won out in the end.

Epimedium alpinum (Berberidaceae) 097 20
Epimedium alpinum is a perennial herbaceous plant of Berberidaceae Family.
It is a species native to central and southern Europe.
The medium green leaves are compound and each leaflet is heart-shaped with a pointed tip. The leaves have a pink tinge when they emerge in spring, mature to green, and take on a red tinge in the fall. Clusters of twelve to twenty flowers are produced in loose racemes above the foliage in spring. The sepals are dull red and the petals are pale yellow and slipper-shaped.
Meadowsweet is a member of the rose family that favours wet habitats, such as ditches, damp meadows and riverbanks. It blooms from June to September and displays a 'froth' of creamy-white flowers, densely packed together in flower heads that sit on erect stems. Its dark green leaves are divided into pairs of leaflets and have silvery undersides sometimes covered with a bright orange rust fungus.
Its sweet smell encouraged people to display it in their houses in past times; but if crushed, it can smell more like antiseptic!
The flowers of Meadowsweet are sometimes used in wine, beer and vinegar, or to give jams a subtle almond flavour. In fact, the common name of this plant likely arose as a result of it being used to flavour mead.

...Let it be! They don't have to be shiny. They don't have to be red. But these new leaflets are both. Regular walkers here know there is plenty of poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) growing alongside this path overlooking the sea. You couldn't be blamed for starting to itch just looking at it.
Thanks for all visits, comments & Favs!
I would be greatful if you follow me in flickr

Newly unwrapped palm frond is uncurling its myriad of leaflets. It's part of a small, low palm that recently got a brand new set of fronds which rose from the center of the stem like a knot of finger-thick snakes. They are now unfurling, looking very frond-like, but do not yet have their needle sharp spines.

One more of the series of shots from the Museum. This one was a bit tricky though. I had light coming directly on the leaf from the other end, as in direct sunlight. I had to move away to face the tree truck but then now i ended up with lesser light. Cheap Canon lenses are not all that sharp unless you go smaller than f/7.1.
Finally i switched to manual, went to F/11 and fired the flash from the Canon Speedlite 430EX to evenly light up these leaves. Interestingly i'm getting to see how light has DoF here. The background from the leaves seems to have been darkened out in the bokeh.
Looks good on large

Sindy is more than a fashion doll; she's part of an enchanting, make-believe world.
And so right they are.
This Active Sindy is a prototype and the ones actually sold were slightly different, both doll and ballet outfit.
