Comme je suis libraire de livres anciens, je trouve des tas de choses dans les livres, dont, bien entendu, des feuilles séchées... Ça n'est pas la première fois que je trouve un trèfle à quatre feuilles, mais je suis toujours contente d'en trouver car cela me rappelle de bons souvenirs. De plus, je m'étais dit que j'allais pouvoir le photographier... Mais quelle ne fut pas ma surprise d'en trouver un deuxième, et de découvrir que celui-ci n'avait pas seulement quatre, mais bien CINQ feuilles!!!!! Ça, j'avoue que c'est bien la première fois que j'en trouve un! Oui, oui, observez-le bien attentivement, le trèfle ci-dessous a bien cinq feuilles. Deux feuilles sont presque totalement superposées, mais j'ai vérifié, il y en a bien deux. Comme elle sont séchées, il serait trop risqué d'essayer de les écarter encore plus.
I am an antiquarian bookdealer so I found many things in old books, and also, of course, leaves... It's not the first time I find a four-leaf clover, but it's always a pleasure because it reminds me of nice memories... And I also said to myself that I was going to take pics of it... But looking again in the book I found another one! And looking at it more carefully, I saw that it was not a four-leaf clover, but a FIVE-LEAF clover!!! This I admit is the first time I ever found one! Look carefully, on the bottom pic, the clover leaf really have five leaves. Two of them are almost completely superposed, but I looked and they are two different leaves. Because the clover leaf is dry, it's too dangerous to try to just separate them a little bit more.

Clo, I can't tell you how soulful both of these pics are! I just showed them to Donica. Nicholas and I have recently been looking for 4-leafed clovers. The day we find one, everyone will know! But finding these in antique books from however long ago is PURE JOY! Don't you wonder what they meant to the person who put them there!
In fact, in my bookshop, I don't have just very old books, and those where in a book about American art published in the '70... not so old as you can see! But you are right, I always wonder about the ancient owner.
I have one four-leaf clover that I have found in an older book... I'll try to take a pic of it today and show you, it's a little bit special.
And I sincerely hope you and Nicholas will find one! Sounds strange to me because when I usually decide to look for them, I always find one, and sometimes more than one! ...but that's for my next post... Hee, hee!
:O)
Incredible! I didn't know there were five-leaf clovers. That top photo is so beautiful, such nice complimentary colors. And the bottom one is great for the sillhouette.
Very cool shot Little sister love the color on it.
Clo,
