Another leaf from the Monday shoot.
Looks like it’s bowing in greeting.

For me it’s only 20 minutes till 2021 kicks off so seems like your leaf is bowing out along with the old year. Happy New Year! That leaf detail is really gorgeous, and beautifully lit.

How obliging of the leaves to have folded themselves over so flat that you didn’t have to worry about depth-of-field problems.

That did help. I like the curly ones too. I’d guess that the water drew the fold in then the ice kept it there.

Who knew leaves could have such fine manners!! I find it interesting how flat this leaf is pressed to the flattened decomposing leaves below it. Earth has many layers to it… all holding a beauty that lies beneath.

I’d guess that the weight of the water, and possibly surface tension, flattened it and then the ice cemented it in place. There is beauty everywhere, we just have to look. ๐

It looks like the beginning of an origami project. The colors and details of the layers are lovely. Happy New Year to you and Mary Beth! (And Bentley, of course!)

It took a while to find some pleasing combinations. Most everything was brownish and just lying there.
Thanks, Linda! May 2021 be filled with wonderful Texas photo opportunities for you.
