This sunlit leaf causes me to imagine I can see its veins extending down to the chlorophyll itself, sucking up the energy and transmitting it to the rest of the tree. The intervening leaf blocking the sunlight to a portion of the bright green leaf steals a bit of its sun. However, the tree gets it all.

The patterns in that leaf! Your photo reveals it so sharply.
Yes! Thank you Claudia. Imagine if I had a decent camera!
