mimosa

I picked this up on a walk yesterday, because it was such a great season marker--"fronds" of mimosa foliage falling to the ground entirely intact. Some of them were so perfectly symmetrical, they looked almost like little flat renditions of evergreen trees. By the time I got home, a few "frondlets" had fallen off, and more have fallen since I've  had this on the windowsill, but the leaf is still pretty.

The vase BYW was a gift from Sandi Shirey, whose mother made it many years ago.
