Closer then we think

It can be amazing what you can find close by to photograph.

The afternoon that I shot these three images I had been inside the hotel in the "sitting room" checking email and uploading images. I had been staring at these leaves and the interesting shadows that they were making on each other, and how the sun shown through. Ron came in and checked his email, and then took a few shots of the leaves before heading out up the tower. It really hadn't occured to me to shoot the leaves, which I know find kind of funny since my Mom has a slightly similar image of a leaf in her office that I shot in high school. It was probably taken on one of the first five rolls of b/w film I ever shot.
Thanks Ron for reopening my eyes to the simple things around me.
The last shot is just outside the window where the plant sits.
