Afternoon capture

Been meaning to shoot this tree since last summer, and especially for the past 6-7 weeks. Finally got my chance tonight. Glad I waited for the sunset.

This photo does nothing to hint at the actual size of this tree. It's quite large and noticeably mature...and it's a hottie, as trees go.

Nope, no color treatment or photoshopping whatsoever. This plant is truly two-tone. I know I'm not supposed to comment on my own shots, but this one blows me away.


Why do I love leaves' vascular systems so much but get queasy when anything has to do with the human vascular system? Hmm.

Oh so wonderful, all of them! Hey-you had a blogger meet-up with one of my favorite bloggers of all time. Next time, y'all should both come this way. We'd have a ball.
