2004-12-15: Mango Flush

Needham, Massachusetts

Today was our first cold day, never got up to zero Celsius.
So a bit of tropical fire: a flush of new Mango leaves.

I've been growing this tree for ten years or so.
It's really ugly, but the leaves are beautiful
when they pour out in a limp pale red flush.
The mature leaves are glossy dark green and
smell of mango when you crush them.

The way the near field green covers the mango colors is so interesting - I'm amazed that you could "see" this shot in order to take it. Very nice eye.

Fascinating composition, and very pleasing to the eye.

The detail and color that you have captured is beautiful. Love the DOF. Nicely done.

So pretty--the shadows, the light and the colors. And, I can almost smell it.
