Neatly angled

Long pairings

Bushy clusters

...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

Have a nice day! :)

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

You hear that boys and girls?! No more worrisome holidays. We have a Carry Case now.

The four fashions on the left wasn't given any names, only referred to as 'Pocket Money' outfits.

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.

I came across this shrub on my walk today - was intrigued by the shape of these leaflets.

I have noticed that this pot plant (lilly) has started weeping, with tiny droplets appearing on the tip of each leaf. Felt it deserved a shot for posterity.
