Leaf Tribe

I often perceive human features in nature. We all are capable of developing our visual acuity the more we look at nature’s beautiful creations displayed on the bark of trees, flowers, leaves, rocks, water etc. This tribe lives very close to the leaf ladies in my portfolio that are part of their tribe. displaying magnificent colors in their faces. I enhanced the texture and color to accentuate these multi-colored leaves that had fallen from a tree creating a wonderful abstract composition. The top leaf presents different images when viewed as a profile or full face that reminds me of a puppy or a heart etc…. The imagery within the larger leaf and the surrounding environment offer a lot of material to project your unique perceptions. As usual the more I look the more I see. I just saw a blue alien on the left behind the large leaf. I took this photograph with a Macro lens to enhance the detail of the magnificent colors in their faces. The members of this leaf tribe live in a very colorful garden on the hill behind my house so I can visit them, especially in autumn and winter when they fall from the trees.

"Endless world, incomplete universe... And without beginning, but where each part ... Image is of the whole and a light show ... Along the eternal ways..." poem by Albert Verwey -- Love and Light~OLGA
