I do like taking nature shots … up close ..; think we miss out on a lot in this world because we are so insular in the way we go about things.  Never really stopping and smelling the flowers … or looking at what life holds for different things.  The name “veins” is apt on two fronts here.  First the leaves look like they have them and secondly this is the lifeblood and much of the reason why we are on this little planet of ours … without plants there is no oxygen.   Yet we destroy for all sorts of reasons (mainly monetary gain) and have scant regard for the future.
Funny world hey?  So much beauty.  So much ugliness.  Happy, sad … hope future generations still have things to appreciate …
