Photo gallery The delicate beauty of leaves
Sunshine and leaves — both in abundant supply in mid-summer — were combined to make sun print art this week, during a Lunchtime Wellness Series event at Allen Centennial Garden. Participants placed leaves on light-sensitive paper, which was then exposed for a few minutes to daylight and then soaked in water to develop. The result? An image of the delicate leaf. The free, outreach art event occurs at the garden on Thursdays weekly through mid-September.
