This is a Redbud. I already had a post called "Redbuds", however, so I had to give this one the scientific name. It's fitting, since this is something of a biological post. Yet aren't these things amazing? At the top we have the whole tree, then it gets narrower and narrower, until we're looking up close at the TINIEST vein of this leaf (I used a microscope). To think of the incredible detail God worked into His creation, and then to realize just how many leaves there are! It is simply unfathomable. What an awesome Creator! Here's some bonus info on Redbuds (Cercis canadensis) for those of you who are interested :)

Very cool! Biology is what got me into photography.
I just love the way you got closer, and closer, and closer....so creative, and makes the point SO well.
