This little red leaf captured my heart, as did my husband and it's a gift to him for his birthday.
It is part of my $100 daily painting project, and paintings can be viewed or purchased at alisonjardine.com. Although, this one is already taken :-)
A pair of Chrysomelid Beetles, on the leaf of a Goat's Foot Vine.
These beeltes have several common names, such as "Tortoise Beetle" and "Eucalypt Beetle", but these names seem to cover dozens of species. There are many species of tortoise beetle, all similar but with some differences. These two could be Aspidimorpha westwoodii
Not large beetles at only about 5mm in length. Both the adults and larvae eat the leaves of their host plants.
Some weathered picnic tables arranged together just off the tennis courts at the Renfrew Boys and Girls Club Calgary.
A collection of freshly fallen leaves on top of snow that fell overnight. This might be what a leaf sees as it floats to the ground.

When, in the early 1940s, Tolkien wrote his partly-autobiographical tale of a painter so obsessed with detail he was unable to complete the canvas he was working on, he was 'dead stuck, somewhere about Ch. 10 (Voice of Saruman) in Book III' of The Lord of the Rings (Letters, p.321). The story expresses something of Tolkien's anxiety that his own 'internal Tree' (p.321), The Lord of the Rings, would be 'finished in great detail or not at all, and the fear (near certainty) that it would be "not at all"' (p.257). 'Leaf by Niggle' was published in the Dublin Review in January 1945. Two months later, Tolkien wrote to Stanley Unwin that it was 'the only thing I have ever done which cost me absolutely no pains at all… Ot took only a few hours to get down, and then copy out' (Letters, p.113). The deleted title in the fair copy of the manuscript exhibited here shows that the story was originally called 'The Tree.' It was republished in Tree and Leaf (1964).
