My entry this week:

There are so many leaves around us that sometimes perhaps we forget to appreciate them. Those wonderful little energy transformers. The original solar panels. So many shapes and sizes and so much beauty, from the scale of shimmering forests down to the little detail of their veins. This one is a mango leaf from our garden in Petchaburi, Thailand, taken a few days ago. All the new leaves on this tree start life wearing autumnal colours before turning green. An unexpected but beautiful sight.

Taken from this post about leaf aesthetics in our garden.
