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.

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.
...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.
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.
Macro Mondays - theme: All Natural
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

Most of the window glass in St Andrew’s Church, Aldborough, dates to the Victorian era and the early 20th century. Historical highlights around the church include a beautifully carved 16th-century table, now used for displaying leaflets, and a pair of grave slabs to members of the Aldeburgh family, dated 1430 and 1475.
The curry tree (Murraya koenigii) or curry leaf tree is a tropical to sub-tropical tree in the family Rutaceae (the rue family, which includes rue, citrus, and satinwood), and is native to India. Its leaves are used in many dishes in the Indian subcontinent. Often used in curries, the leaves are generally called by the name curry leaves, although they are also actually sweet neem leaves in most Indian languages. It is a small tree, growing 4–6 m tall, with a trunk up to 40 cm diameter. The aromatic leaves are pinnate, with 11–21 leaflets, each leaflet 2–4 cm long and 1–2 cm broad. The plant produces small white flowers which can self-pollinate to produce small shiny-black drupes containing a single, large viable seed. The berry pulp is edible, with a sweet flavor. 2166
Under the bridge across Suzhou Creek of Shanghai's Middle Ring Road, a women holding leaflets in her hand tries to sell something (couldn't figure what) to commuters.
This Active Sindy is a prototype and the ones actually sold were slightly different, both doll and ballet outfit.
I came across this shrub on my walk today - was intrigued by the shape of these leaflets.
