Beautiful from all compass points. Remarkable. Irish seaside greens. Well executed. tg

Detail detail detail... You've made us look at what an Ivy leaf is actually made up of... Great stuff...

Thank you all for the comments. I thought I'd have a change from my usual type of thing.

I've had this ivy in the garden for 10 years but only noticed the leaf structure recently. I think we often look but don't really see, it would be information overload otherwise. Turning that off takes a conscious effort.

Ivy leaves are lovely things. Fine study. Reminds me of the guy who took cabbage leaves, mushrooms and peppers...Edward Weston I think.

Thanks Gray. Yes it was Edward, I discovered him after I took the picture. Now I have to be careful not to use one of his subjects!
