Leafing Around

A    L    O    H    A  !


Leaves, clouds & light 
fill the sky






Some Leaves Are 
small











But even so,
they have a big presence 
when you REALLY look
at them

















Some are really big - 
bigger than THIS one
even














These guys 
INVENTED
the "Still Life"











These "Lungs of the World"
are ALL Heart













I think that they look best 
when they hang together












Don't YOU agree?  

Thanks for drifting by!

Don't go
without LEAFING us a comment! 

                        Warmly, cloudia

    I have magnetic leaves. No matter where I rake them, they keep coming back to the place I walk into the garage. But I like the shade in the summer. DrumMajor

    Every person on earth should one time in their life pluck a green leaf and really truly look at it. They have much to teach in their varied shades of green.

    You have particularly beautiful leaves around you - Hawaii is just an enchanted place.

    The biggest leaves I have seen around here are on the rhubarb plants in our garden. Do the leaves ever fall of the trees in Hawaii, so you have bare branches for awhile?

    Leaf it to my Island Sista- to make me smile even whilst the water heater is out!


    I Loved this post, esp. the analogy about the Lungs and Heart! and I like it that they have VEINS!!!!!

    You very much did justice to these still life masters and I thank you for that!

    HFTEC,

    Leafing you a message is always easy to do... You have a talent of letting us ponder and stop to notice life's meaning...in the simplest of things.

    I really enjoyed these pictures. We sure don't get leaves like these in the desert.

    I'll take a 'leaf' out of your book and really look at leaves, when they grow again that is. ;)

    I do agree Cloudia, sometimes it's the small (or big) things that we take for granted in life.
