Palm Leaf (macro)

Thought for the Week: 
"You can expect that something or other will crop up to make life a little difficult.  You should remember that it's how you respond to what happens that matters." 
adapted from Phenomenal Women by Chis Kennedy

the inside of a palm leaf taken on Ramsgate Beach, South africa.  I love the interwoven leaves that make up the whole, as well as the red aspects.

Proves once again that beauty can be in the detail, doesn't it? It never fails to amaze me how a very tiny thing can appear almost exactly the same as a very large thing. This leaf reminds me irresistibly of a venus fly trap!

Gena-
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Your leaf shot is AMAZING! I love how the colors gradually change from green to that reddish tone in the center.

Very nice shot!

I love to find pattern in nature - there are patterns in the macro and micro ... wherever you look, you can find them ..... this for me is one of the beautiful mysteries of life

I could look at this for a very long time. The colors are so vivid and the lines and detail. It's really nice!! It's one of those pictures one could get lost in.

Love your thought for the week too!!
