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.

Oxalis acetosella (Oxalidaceae) 091 21
Oxalis acetosella (wood sorrel or common wood sorrel) is a rhizomatous flowering plant in the family Oxalidaceae, common in most of Europe and parts of Asia. The specific name is acetosella, which refers to its sour taste.
The plant has trifoliate compound leaves, the leaflets heart-shaped and folded through the middle, that occur in groups of three on petioles up to 10 centimeters long. It flowers from spring to midsummer with small white chasmogamous flowers with pink streaks. Red or violet flowers also occur rarely. During the night or when it rains the flowers close and the leaves fold.
From Wikipedia
Rouen (France) - Samedi 11 Mars 2023, lors de la manifestation contre la réforme des retraite, les jeunes militants du PCF ont été très actifs. Pour se faire remarquer des médias qui couvraient l'événement, ils montaient systématiquement sur les toits des abribus en agitant leurs drapeaux. Quand la tête du cortège où se trouvent l’essentiel des journalistes, était passée, ils repartaient en courant vers une autre station de bus. Ces jeunes militants semblent avoir suivi des cours de communication. De mon temps, ils se contentaient de distribuer des tracts. En tout cas ça a été efficace, ils ne sont pas passés inaperçus.
Everyone to the bus shelters
Rouen (France) - Saturday March 11, 2023, during the demonstration against the pension reform, young PCF activists were very active. To get noticed by the media covering the event, they systematically climbed onto the roofs of bus shelters waving their flags. When the head of the procession, where most of the journalists are, had passed, they ran towards another bus shelter. These young activists seem to have taken courses in communication. In my day, they just handed out leaflets. In any case, it was effective, they did not go unnoticed.
Thanks for all visits, comments & Favs!

Male flowers from Caucasian wingnut
Pterocarya fraxinifolia – Caucasian wingnut.
The picture shows the characteristic long, hanging male flowers.
Pterocarya fraxinifolia is a deciduous tree in the walnut family (Juglandaceae), typically with long, hanging seed catkins (30–50 cm) that carry green, winged nuts – a clear recognition feature.
The tree has large, imparipinnate leaves up to about 60 cm long with 7–27 leaflets and decorative and broad-crowned growth form, often with multiple stems and a short, thick trunk.
The tree is native to the Caucasus region and northern Iran, but often planted in parks and large gardens across Europe because of its ornamental value and ability to thrive in damp areas.

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.

...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.
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.
