Very cool pic! What kind of a plant is this? Love the curls. #39619

Mary-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! #115334

Brinn MacDougall May 26, 2019

Excellent shot, nature has the best use of structure, good find! #115378

Mary-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. #115672

What a beautiful work of nature. Great eye...great shot. Are all your macro shots on a tripod or hand-held? #116022

Mary-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. #116029
