Skeleton
I know I’m 30+, but I’m still impressed beyond words at the patterns in nature that we see and don’t notice.
Till I tried this little back-light experiment – I really didn’t appreciate the intricate network in these leaves.
Felt that B&W really focussed attention on the pattern.

This is a beautifully delicate image. I love the lacy skeletal effect of the leaves too – don’t think age matters! I’m well past 30! ;)
