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.

  2. 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.

  5. 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.

    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..

  18. 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 :)

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
