The Leaves Project

July 2, 2002 10:46 AM

The Leaves Project catalogs sadly too few leaves from trees and personal stories associated with them. Highlight a leaf and click to view the story behind it. From their about page: "The Leaves Project was borne of one simple thought: that every leaf has an inherent beauty and elegance. I have become fascinated with the colors and textures of leaves. This project is an attempt at capturing just a small portion of the wonder to be found in the natural world."

Call me a grammersnob, but I can't get past the bad spelling and the e. e. cummings lack of capitalization. The leaves look pretty, though.

"I'm sorry to say that The Leaves Project is no longer accepting submissions. I managed to lose the Photoshop files/settings for the navigation menu, so I cannot add any new stories. But please enjoy the ones that are here."

this has been around forever...i don't even think beth (the owner of tickertape) adds to it anymore.

it's a cool concept if someone would keep it alive.

Yeowtch. Consider me "smacked down." Thanks for putting me in perspective, vacapinta.
