Autumn Colors and Textures
Autumn Colors and Textures, Leaves are the primary food producing organs of a plant. They are designed to be efficient in collecting light and using that light energy to produce food.
The leaf for example has so many different parts and purposes, the large flat surface is called a Blade. It contains all the necessary parts to feed the tree or plant, sugar and water.
All these veins you see in every leaf, are designed to prevent the leaf from collapsing under its own weight. And all of the veins, help position the blade so that it is facing the light source.
If the blade was upside down, it would not work properly. They are like little solar panels producing energy. Nature is teaching again. Food and energy from the heavens.
But if you really want some interesting data, I looked up how many cells were in an average leaf. Well, being there are so many different sizes of leaves, the answer was a long one.
So I had to look up how many cells are in the human body;
According to a recent estimate published in 2013 in the “Annals of Human Biology” by an international team of researchers, it is 3.72 × 1013.
In other words: The human body consists of some 37.2 trillion cells. And each one has a purpose.

Oh, gorgeous
Thank you very much
Grazie per queste interessanti e costruttive informazioni e per le tue bellissime poetiche immagini.
You are very welcome, 🙂
Those are awesome stats about cells you gave us Sandra. The reflections in this post are just gorgeous, from those on the water to the colors of the leaves with sun on them. I like the geese sitting on the logs in the water.
So incredibly beautiful.
Thank you very much 🙂

Learning and visual poetry too! Perfect.
Thank you, yes, I like to look up information like this, even though I learned most of it way back in school. I sometimes forget the little details over the years. 🙂
Stunning autumn colours, Sandra!
Thank you very much Peter 🙂

Yes, so do I, thank you 🙂
How very scientific of you. Thanks for the biology lesson. Will there be a test??
Keep a song in your heart and laughter and laughter on your lips
There would be a test, but I am sure I will forget the lesson in a few days when I go onto something else. 🙂 We learn all this stuff back in school but never do I remember any of it unless one day I look at something and wonder; Why? So these tidbits are refresher courses for us older folks, mostly me. 🙂 Thanks Mr. Ohh, have a great day. always have laughter in ones heart.
Visual poetry. Beautiful.
