Parsley must be some really hardy stuff. It survived our killing frost of a couple weeks ago with nary a hint of trouble. The leaves are from our ornamental pear tree, thus the title. All comments welcome. >=))>

Luv the title Bill, and the image. Excellent comp. I really like how the sprig of parsley is backed by the lighter colored leaf. :cool:

Bill, lovely presentation, composition and capture. Not necessarily in that order! My preferred way of seeing parsley - growing as opposed to a decorative presentation on a plate. :toast:

Skillful use of the fallen leaves to frame the lone strand of parsley :wavey: - looks just great from here, Bill.

Wonderful rendering of the leaves, Bill, and a delightful composition of disparate forms and colours.

Bill,

I love the leaves in this and it's a great name. While it's composed perfectly, I'd love to see you do one with just the colors and shapes in the leaves. They seem very rich to me. Superb presentation of course.
