These leaves caught my attention as they do stand out from the more commonplace ones.
Wonder of wonders, a few days after, I stumbled upon some similar leaves on the hoardings of an office tower.
Indeed, as noted by Henry David Thoreau, "Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain."
It is plain to see that we can learn much from Nature and be inspired.
"If you put a real leaf and a silk leaf side by side, you'll see something of the difference between Homer's poetry and anyone else's. There seem to be real leaves still alive in the 'Iliad,' real animals, real people, real light attending everything." -- Alice Oswald
