Anatomy of a Leaf

The other day while walking through a healing garden at one of Portland's hospitals I decided to stop and look at things. Just take a moment to bring the issues of the day to a scretching halt and relax.

After choosing a couple of photos for posting, I was prompted to do a search on the anatomy of a leaf. The cross section showing the complexity of it was a reminder of not only 8th grade science class but of the amazing world in which we live.

Years ago I took an astronomy class. I was blown away by the vastness of the universe and what a small piece we are to the entire puzzle. Can there be life on other planets in other galaxies? So far we don't know but one thing is for sure. The design and order we find in something as simple as a leaf is most definitely a love note from our Creator.
