Penning Photography Daily

I had my camera in hand when I walked into choir practice tonight. Handy practice, to be ready.

This plant caught my eye. The symmetry of the pattern on this leaf stands out.

I have no idea what plant this is. I’ll update this when I find out.

Update: Thanks to TulipFleurs, a fellow Flickrian, this appears to be a Red-Veined Prayer Plant (Marantaceae)!

I do know that the miracle of Nature’s creation delights my eye in this leaf. Amazing that the plant grew into this pattern, without knowing that it would please my eye. For some unknown reason, the inexorable tiny changes over time, pushed this plant into expressing this beauty.

I don’t need to know why, I’m just glad I was happy to stop and enjoy it. Now, sharing it with you.
