Today's Flowers: Each Leaf, a Soul

SandyCarlson November 24, 2012
After I left Adella at basketball practice yesterday morning, I took a little walk where some leaves have escaped the blowers and the rakes.
From November 23, 2012
Each one told a story of life in the elements among birds and squirrels facing storms, dripping with the languid heat of summer, watching the aspens and birches let go of their color first, waiting, waiting, and then making peace with the earth.

    There's a beauty in your thoughts. The way you picture things, and how they respond. It's amazing.
    Take Care!

    Reminds me of what Camus said - In Autum, every leaf is a flower.

    Oaks are always one of the last to let go of those storied leaves. Beeches hate to let go too. They always appear to be ghosts in the woods during winter.
