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. These two leaves live 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. /

Color, wrinkles, nails, veins, slenderness, length, so many things make up a hand, so many characteristics. Each hand different from the last, each hand with it’s own personality, with it’s own story. This hand is of a janitorial woman working in my college. She was taking a break, resting her hand and taking a breath, some peace from her otherwise tiresome day. The contrast of the color of her skin and her clothes, the position and placement of her hand, her posture, everything came together to make this an ordinary yet interesting shot. /

Some beautiful texture and colour on a building in Essaouira, Morocco. This is how I envisage the three of them being displayed, in fact I have them in a box frame like this and I think they’re pretty spiffy! I’ve tried to simulate the style of frame to give you a sense of it.

The difference with the Golden palm and the Green Coconut palm is the color of the fruit. The Golden Malayan having a gold coloured fruit. The Coconut Palm is the most universally known palm tree. It is the first thing most people think of when the words “palm tree” are spoken. With good reason too, the coconut palm is found throughout tropical regions around the world, though it originates in the south pacific and Caribbean. Information Source: The Golden Malayan Coconut Palm Moku Coconut Palm Frond Weaving “This beautiful palm embodies the romance of the tropics and is also of great economic value. There are many varieties, from dwarfs to the familiar tall growing types that reach 50-80 ft. All have graceful gray trunks topped by a crown of pinnately compound yellow-green leaves. Each leaf is 12-15 ft long with many leaflets. This is an extremely important plant, including . It appears that Coconut Palms were introduced throughout the Tropics and the Hawaiian islands by ancient Polynesians. Coconut fibers were used to make twine by Ancient Hawaiians. The Hawaiians evidently grew two types of coconut. One was best for making rope and the other was best for consumption. The scientific name for coconut is Cocos nucifera. The Coconut Palm (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the Family Arecaceae. Coconut trees are palms that grow up to 90 feet high grow throughout the tropics. , they Their trunks are ringed with scars where old leaves have fallen. The top of the trunk is crowned with a rosette of leaves. Leaves are feather-shaped and split into lots of leaflets. Long leaves can grow up to 20 feet long and can have 250 leaflets. They are used for matting, weaving and thatching. Flowers – male and female flowers grow on the same plants on flowering branches. Flowers are pale yellow and are about 1 cm long. The base of flowering branches are tapped for sap. Coconut fruits are oval and covered with a smooth skin which can be bright green, brilliant orange or ivory coloured. Underneath this skin is a thick fibrous layer which is used for coir. The next layer is the shell of the seed with the three characteristic ‘eyes’. The shell may be used to make charcoal and eating utensils. The inside of the shell is lined with a white, edible layer called the meat. This is also made into chemical, industrial and medicinal products. The fluid inside the seed cavity is known as coconut water (not milk). When seeds germinate, the new shoot sprouts from one of the eyes. The coconut is the only species in the genus Cocos. In India it has been called the ‘tree of heaven’ or ‘kalpavriksha‘. Coconut palms are known as the ‘Tree of Life’ because of their huge variety of uses. The large spirally arranged leaves are up to 12 feet or more in length, and are pinnately divided into numerous strap shaped segments. The separate male and female flowers are in axillary panicles. The male flowers have 3 yellow petals and 2 stamens. The ovoid coconut is up to a foot long, and is composed of a thick fibrous husk, a hard shell, and a single seed with the copra lining the interior, and water (coconut milk) filling the cavity when it is young. Coconut palms have two natural subgroups simply referred to as “Tall” and “Dwarf”. Most commercial plantings use high yielding, longer lived Tall cultivars, and each region has its own selections, e.g., ‘Ceylon Tall’, Indian Tall’, ‘Jamaica Tall’ (syn. ‘Atlantic Tall’), ‘Panama Tall’ (syn. ‘Pacific Tall’). The Tall cultivar group is sometimes given the name Cocos nucifera var. typica, and the dwarf cultivar group C. nucifera var. nana. Samoan Coconut Trees are in this dwarf group. Dwarf cultivars, particularly the popular ornamentals, are largely self-pollinating as opposed to the Tall cultivars of commerce which rarely pollinate themselves. Coconuts are large, dry drupes, ovoid in shape, up to 15” long and 12” wide. The exocarp or skin is green, yellow, or bronze-gold, turning to brown, depending on cultivar and maturity. The mesocarp is fibrous and dry at maturity; the product coir is derived from this layer. The endocarp is the hard shell enclosing the seed. Seeds are the largest of any plant, and have a thin brown seed coat. Seeds are filled with endosperm, which is solid and adherent to the seed coat, and also in liquid form, called “milk”. Copra is derived from the solid endosperm Coconut is a pan-tropical species usually found in humid coastal areas between latitudes 26 degrees north and south. The origin of this plant is uncertain, but many experts believe it’s from the west Pacific and Indian Ocean islands.” /

PORTMEIRION is an Italianate resort village in Gwynedd, on the coast of Snowdonia in Wales. The village is located near Penrhyndeudraeth, on the estuary of the River Dwyryd, two miles southeast of Porthmadog, and one mile from the railway station at Minffordd, which serves both the narrow gauge Ffestiniog Railway and Arriva Trains Wales (Cambrian Line). / Portmeirion has served as a location for films and television shows, most famously serving as The Village in The Prisoner. / THE PRISONER is a 17-episode, British television series which was first broadcast in London from the 1st of October 1967 to the 4th of February 1968. Starring and co-created by Patrick McGoohan, it combined spy fiction with elements of science fiction, allegory, and psychological drama. / The series follows a British former secret agent who is held prisoner in a mysterious seaside village where his captors try to find out why he abruptly resigned from his job. Although sold as a thriller in the mould of McGoohan’s previous series, Danger Man (called Secret Agent in its U.S. release), the show’s combination of 1960s countercultural themes and surreal setting had a far-reaching effect on science fiction/fantasy programming, and on popular culture in general.
