The pronounced network of veins in these dried hydrangea leaves were once the life lines of the plant. The mophead hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) is known for its showy flowers, but as you see here, the simple leaves are just as interesting. Their pronounced midribs and veins and the serrated margins add interest to this nature abstract. What do the toothed edges remind you of? Dragon scales, a lizard's tail, an alien landscape perhaps?

I use my camera to explore the world around me and as a basis for creative expression. Because I live in Nebraska, I have a fondness for rural scenes that will be evident as you explore my images, but I enjoy traveling and have many other interests as well. I hope you enjoy your visit.
