CBD? CBD? Convention on Biological Diversity? Christian Brotherhood Development? Critical Bookbinder Dunderheads? Does a CBD even have a heart? I doubt it.
Sorry YP. I thought 'CBD' would be easier to read than Central Business District. And I mistakenly thought that all my readers would know what 'CBD' meant. I believe the 'heart' in this context is a metaphor for 'very middle' or 'centre'.
Oh. That's way beyond my knowledge. I didn't look terribly closely at the blown up picture. I just assumed it was an acer for some reason. In fact I think it was subliminal because I have photographed sycamore tree leaves (in UK): I think they are so beautiful.
I think that is a very good photograph. It is such a great contrast, it conjours up all sorts of thoughts and feelings. If the leaf is not from a native NZ tree I wonder if the leaf and the black tarseal actually deserve each other???
Thank you Alden. I get your meaning about them deserving each other... but I'm still able to enjoy an 'invader' species. In fact I like most tree species very much, especially so when they make a welcome break from hard city surfaces.
I didn't know what CBD meant either, but I had enough sense to Google CBD Auckland and find out. CBD is not a term commonly used here in Ye Olde Amerique, except perhaps by municipal engineers.
An autumn leaf in the heart of the CBD, Auckland.
You really do have the ability to catch those little pools of beauty which so many of us miss.
ReplyDeleteI wandered loney as a leaf. Not quite the same ring really. Sorry. My brain tends to see the silly in things occasionally.

Thank you Geeb. It's a Lonely Only Leaf. From a Liriodendron tulipfera, if I'm not mistaken.
