A tiny ginkgo leaf that looks like a butterfly! #pressedleafstories

So much stuff that I make never ends up online. It sits buried in my photo archive. I'm going to try to post things on Bluesky more as they happen. My blog (spudart.org) will be the place for longer posts.

Here's a leaf I picked up today for #pressedleafstories

So many leaves outside now! The purple-green sheen to this leaf caught my eye while walking home after dropping off Evelyn at second grade. Once looking at it in my hand, I realized it matches the flannel I'm wearing.

I love how pencil marks change color in direct light.

After dropping off Evelyn at second grade, I walked by Main Street Park and placed my first treasure chest in Glen Ellyn. I had placed over 900 treasure chests when I lived in the city, but then zero for NINE years while living in suburban Glen Ellyn. I put it on a rock in the park that I'm naming Graystone Gallery.

On the rest of my walk home, I noticed a leaf on the ground with a large circular hole in the center of the leaf. Odd timing, considering I had just purchased a set of three hole punchers that make the shape of a butterfly. I am planning on punching butterflies out of leaves and leaving the leaves with the holes, for someone to wonder how that shaped hole got into the leaf. And here I encounter a leaf with a large pre-made hole!
