pressed into service

I was moving these smoke bush leaves from the book they got pressed in to a folder to bring to Longwood. First I took them out of the book, and piled them willy nilly on the kitchen counter. When I looked at my absent minded piles, it stated to look like a forest. So I transferred them first to my black background, snapped a few shots, and then on to my folder for transport to Longwood where they will be pressed into service as compositional teaching materials.
