    Scaned Leaves

    Here's a couple of more. These are from a blue oak, probably one of the smallest of the oaks, seldom growing more than a foot in diameter and usually under 40' tall. The wood from this tree is quite nice, having a very dark hard wood and interesting grain. The tree prefers swampy areas, which we...

    Scaned Leaves

    You are welcome, Wendy, 78nbsp. I cannot say whether the difference in leaf shapes on the morning glory is owing to maturity or not. I suspect, but cannot confirm, that it is more a matter of season. I think what is happening is tha leaves budding in early spring have one shape and leaves...

    Scaned Leaves

    Everyone has seen a picture of a fig leaf, right? After all, they are almost always used to cover up the "naughty bits" in paintings and even on some statues. But can you produce a realistic fig leaf from memory? It occurred to me that I could not, even though I live in the southwest where fig...

    Vines

    Here's another "fake" leaf. The tricky bit is getting the minor surface detail to look realistic. Mind you, if you want photo-realism, the thing to do is to take photograph with a digital camera. OTOH, if you want to get "guidebook" close, this isn't all that bad. It isn't quite good enough for...
