Barney's post of a colourful Maryland meadow, its jogging of my memory of 
John Hinde, and the link to an article I sent in my reply, was also a key to 
another article.

I love the story of the moving rhododenderon bush in it - shades of Birnham 
Wood in Macbeth - and it reminds of a photographer friend of mine who keeps 
individual leaves of an intense colour cossetted in individual pouches in 
his camera bags. He then artfully and Fibonaccially enhances his bucolic 
scenes by placing them strategically according to the Rule of Thirds. 
Unfortunately, he disclosed his secret to a number of us in the club and 
thus, whenever he shows one of his images with any autumn leaves in it, it's 
greeted with knowing guffaws and ribbing. That said, we often vote his 
images best in competitions :-)
