I have no idea what that is, but it does make for a nice contrast in colours

either do I, though it appears to have been connected to the leaf before it pulled away from the little piece just above it.

Very nice. It looks like sap or oil.

I have no idea either, Brian, but it's a very nice capture.

Re: it's nature but is it animal, vegatable or mineral?
Probably it is some kind of resins some trees secrete; when it fell on the leaf it started solidifying along with falling down slowly under gravity....than it solidified, leaving behind a thin film that remained stuck on the leaf. Later the thin film cracked leaving some residue there (above) and the remaining part of the thin film remains as a collar...this is what i feel

That makes as much sense as anything I can come up with. Originally Posted by Wavelength
