The following picture is inspired by how Andy Goldsworthy arranges leaves with their naturally bright pigments to make vivid photographs.
You can see some much more amazing leaf designs from Andy Goldsworthy here:

Below is a cartoon musing about a scientist/biomimic/leaf hunter looking for especially aerodynamic leaves, fall leaves that have dried in unique configurations, that he tests in a portable wind-tunnel. He finds a good one and is pleased, imagining a new kite or airfoil design that will help generate energy.
