A close-up of a leaf with the sun shining through it. You can see lots of wet "hair" on the leaf, I assume these hairs serve to trap moisture and feed the plant. I really like the colours in

Last weekend I bought a car wash ticket and drove my car to the entrance, only to be greeted with a queue 5 cars long. It took me about 40 minutes to get my car through. During the long wait, however,

Flower Fractal [Color Challenge: Thursday Green]
Nature can produce some beautiful things. This is another botanical gardens shot. I think the radial spikes give the photo a rather dramatic look. All in all this is one cool flower!

Flat Earthers: How do you explain Google Earth?

MonochromeMonday: Water Fountain
I love the brushed texture on the steel on this fountain. The fountain wasn't running so I was able to climb up and take this shot from the top. I took this photo yesterday at my local botanical garden.
