Very cool pic! What kind of a plant is this? Love the curls. #39619Mary-Ella Bowles May 26, 2019
Thanks Claudia! I'm not sure what kind of plant it is - I took the picture at a local botanical garden, and it was one frond of a palm-tree-looking plant, just starting to open up. Glad you like it! #115334Brinn MacDougall May 26, 2019
Excellent shot, nature has the best use of structure, good find! #115378Leanne M.E. Boyd May 26, 2019

Beautiful shot, Mary-Ella! Great details! #115539Mary-Ella Bowles May 26, 2019
Thanks so much for your kind comments Evy, Susana, Leanne and Brinn. Your thoughts are always appreciated. I agree with you Brinn - nature is the master artist. We only have to look carefully to find examples of extraordinary beauty. #115672Cathy Shotz May 26, 2019
What a beautiful work of nature. Great eye...great shot. Are all your macro shots on a tripod or hand-held? #116022Mary-Ella Bowles May 26, 2019
Well, I'm notoriously reluctant to lug around a tripod, though I know I SHOULD. I sometimes say my style is to "keep it simple, get up close, and travel light". But I'm currently trying to re-train myself to carry the darn thing around and start using it. #116029Patricia Marroquin May 26, 2019
Very cool! Love the light and it's so sharp. Excellent job, Mary-Ella! #116057Patricia Marroquin July 07, 2003
