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 trees grow next to every other house.

 

A quick search of the web confirmed what I suspected. Sure, you can find pictures of fig trees and their leaves on the web, but none of them are particularly detailed. Upshot? I thought some members might find scanned images of various things, such as fig leaves, useful.

 

I've scanned quite a few other kinds of leaves. If there is enough interest, I'll post more of them.
