Leaf and camera sitting on the ground (black and white). This macro shot was taken in Temuka, Canterbury, New Zealand.
This is a short sequence of shots i took today from our picnic to Cordeaux Dam.
Autumn leaves had fallen all over the ground and the children thought it would be a great idea to play amongst them.

Spot metered and focused on the back-lit leaf. If you look at it too long and drink too much Chardonnay, you see a man in pain with his arms out stretched. I must stop skipping those AA meetings.

The other sewn Australian Native Leaves artworks in this set...
I press the leaves first (like you would press flowers) this helps retain a level of their original colour...
Australian Native plant leaves are very strong and solid...
I sew the leaves onto delicate layered fabrics with diverse coloured threads or each other or other vegitation such as paper bark...
the fabric is a symbol of the
"fabric of life"...
the fabric also refers to the spiritual concept of inner spiritual eyes wearing veils...how soft and delicate a veil is but we become comfortable thinking we can still see clearly while wearing them...
I use leaves to reflect the concept of "leaves of one tree" or "leaves of one branch" as a symbol of humanity living all on one planet as one human family...living all on the one "Tree of Life"...
sewing is a symbol for the action of unity...unifying the diverse parts together into unique relationships of harmony in diversity...
when diverse objects and diverse peoples come in contact with each other they can create light and immense beauty if they choose to act through unity...
The other leaf art images are on paper or card...I also use coloured pencils to replace the thread with coloured dots.
Tannin leaf stains on the sidewalk. Although I isolated just two here, there's a whole section of sidewalk that is covered with these. It's incredible looking down at that section and picking out the multitude of leaf shapes.

Leaves have a cuticle layer which is a waxy covering on the surfaces of the leaves. This covering serves as a protection adaptation that prevents terrestrial plants from dessication (or drying out). Although the cuticle serves as a form of waterproofing it is also capable of giving some protection from microbial attacks.
