Sycamore leaf
Saturday, January 27th, 2007
Pasadena, California. Sycamore trees are one of the wonders of the world, not just because they grow large with limbs that twist and turn in sculptural ways, but because even small trees produce gigantic leaves. Sycamores produce the largest leaves of any trees in North America, this leaf is well over ten inches wide.
This was taken on the granite wheelchair ramp outside the Norton Simon Museum.
