Found treasure


I was doing a bit of weeding this morn, and looked back in the bucket I throw the weeds in and this was laying on top!  Isn't it gorgeous.  I had to lay my gloves on it to keep the wind from moving it/blowing it away.

Oh my goodness, it is gorgeous!! All that is left is the thread-like structure, like fine lace. What a find!!

When I had dogs I would look down and bring in special leaves. I find them in books yet today even though I don't take the dogs out anymore.

This beautiful leaf makes a good book marker.

A wonderful find with such intricate detail revealed.

Wow a great picture of the leaf skeleton. I think the gloves add to it. By the way rose, you might want to change your setting to NOT accept anonymous posts. Just a suggestion, of course.

This is lovely !! A treasure indeed !!
I soak the peepal leaf in water for a few days, changing the water occasionally and then slowly move off the slimy chlorophyl with my fingers and press away the moisture and press the leaf betwen the pages of a book..
I get a lovely leaf like yours..with veins.I paint on it :)))

That is so beautiful! It's like all the leaf matter bade goodbye and just its veins remained. Love this, it's so precious!

I am so glad you noticed this. It is the most delicate filigree work ever.

We used to find these as children as one of our trees seemed to lend itself to making skeleton leaves, but I haven't seen one for years. They are so delicate and pretty :)

your blog caomment process has changed again. Yesterday, I had to verify with the captcha protocol. today I am presented with a comment box that says "this blog does not allow anonymous comments" and somehow one of my real email addresses is associated ... if I do not comment again, this is why
