Back to nature

So, I'm back on these green things rather than politics. Pardon my foray -- and my missing day.

We had heavy rains Thursday (the lawn is smiling!), which plays hob with my already-shaky internet connection way out in the country.

Besides, my camera batteries finally gave up the ghost, after three years, and the replacements arrived only yesterday.

At any rate, here's a close view I found edgy: layered elephant-ear leaves. The right is the foreground, if you're wondering.
