Bay Leaf

Macro and Micro Picture of the Day 2020-01-21

Here is bay leaf (Laurus nobilis). A tree native to the Mediterranean, it is used for flavoring in food preparation, but usually removed before serving. Forests of this tree once covered much of the Mediditerranean when the climate was more humid, but largely disappeared by 10,000 years ago.

Equipment used: Canon EOS Rebel T5i with 49 mm long extension tube.
