Avocado leaf, heart-shaped caterpillar munch, the most recent addition to the Heart Shapes in Nature series.
During winter the Avocado leaves become very crisp, and when crumbled in the hands the scent is kind of like licorice.

Somerset Maugham said, “There is never enough time for love and art”.
To elaborate:
There is not enough time for love of trees and art.
These photos were shot the other day when the weather was grey and the new leaves of the Oak on our front lawn blew in the 30 mph wind gusts. It’s astonishing that the tender young leaves were still tough enough to hang on and not rip in that rough wind. With the sun just barely shining through the overcast clouds, the effect of their silhouettes is so surreal.

Welcome to my garden, little ladybug.
Help yourself.
In the midst of winter we are back to Nature’s basics; the beauty of Structure, and the structure of Beauty. However, out in traffic the effects of the ice storm are not so pretty.
