Day 144: Anatomy of a Leaf

2026-06-30Hello! This is still from the same photowalk in the park under a rainy sky. I'll keep the article short.Pro tip: typing into a search engine "anatomy of a ..." shows the technical words describing those unknown or unfamiliar parts of an object. I can use it for machines as big as a building or for cell structures making up the veins of a leaf.I'm seeing a network of veins. I would need a real microscope to resolve the individual cells, but I can still see far more detail in a leaf than I would with my naked eye. With other leaves, there are parts where the green color is giving way to yellow.I had the camera and teleconverter making contact with this leaf, with cloudy sunlight spilling in from the other side, with the "microscope mode" enabled.Finally, don't feed ducks bread. I give no explanation. I have none. Thank you for visiting this blog!
