“Two to three hours of studying,

Is good medicine for the soul,

I have tried this remedy,

It never grows old”

It has been rather mild lately considering that it is still winter and so Tofu has spent more time outside again. Yesterday he followed me when I went out do to some garden work. The garden is a mess at the moment but that doesn't bother Tofu as long as his feathered friends are around.

Late February in the sunshine. Hazel tree flowers; the male catkin and the smaller female ‘bud-like’ flower. Also on the same twig, the leaf bud.

Seen at The Knapp & Papermil, a Worcestershire Wildlife Trust reserve.

An image I had completely forgotten about after putting it through camera raw.

This is a ten shot focus stack which I did around the same time as the leaf triptych below.

This took a while to put together and edit,all the leaves have such beautiful colour which I believe are Maple.

I had to improvise the black background by laying a black coat on the floor and placing the leaves on that, I then lit the leaves with a small torch to emphasize the leaves .I did have some black card but that got a bit crumpled and creased so a nice contrast with a curves layer made sure the black was a deep black and also brought out those colours.

Nature is amazing I love all the colours of the leaves and the veins and patterns in them.

Just something a bit different to do on a cold wet miserable day.
