For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hi everyone and welcome once again to our art in nature series! I really hope you are enjoying all of these different “objects” of natural art that I show each week. And these different objects can be found most anywhere, in country or city settings, not necessarily the ones that I show, but similar plants, seeds, branches, and today, leaves.
Leaves can be an amazingly complex piece of art with all the veining in the leaves producing many different geometric designs that are truly beautiful.
And leaves of all kinds can be found literally everywhere. Leaves from trees, but also leaves from vines and other plants, provide an amazing array of different designs. A fully mature maple tree has an estimated 100.000 leaves on it and yet they are all different. That’s a lot of different designs to enjoy for our art in nature!
But anyway, I have picked out three different leaves for today, plus the featured image at the top. These are all quite common in many areas of N. America, and other places too. Enjoy the art in nature around you, have a wonderful day and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

I don’t have to worry, it’s my landlord’s problem. But it never grows that much here, likely our winters are too hard on it. It’s great for a chain link fence though, provides nice privacy.

Down here it’s a great weed that must be cut back all the time.

And here people try to grow them, without much success since they normally die back to ground level each year, so it’s slow growing them.
