Walking on Mother's Day, along SE 37th between Division and Hawthorne, the contours, shapes, lines, and color of these leaves caught me eye.
Luckily someone had planted them in a narrow bed between the inner edge of the sidewalk and a stone retaining wall. Otherwise I would have missed the chance to take several photos.
What I have for you here are two tight crops, accentuating what drew me to the leaves in the first place. I especially like the overall shape of the leaves, sort of like funnels. See those drops of water? I wonder how long it took them to slide down into the plant.
Lovely.
ReplyDeletebeautiful shots, lynette! i love the colors and the lines in the leaves...
ReplyDeleteVery cool.
ReplyDeleteThose are large hosta leaves and they are always nice to see. I have, over the years, planted lots of hosta in all colors and sizes and they are always special to me. Even the hummingbirds love them for the nectar they provide in their flowers.
ReplyDeleteThe crop sure has made the twisting leaves more complex-looking and I like them that way.
Those are lovely shots. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I love those folds and curls.
