Thursday Tree Love: Still Hanging On

“Autumn is a second spring

when every leaf is a flower.”

– Albert Camus

It’s technically winter here in the US, but I’m still smiling at this cluster of leaves hanging on for weeks after the others have let go and become part of nature’s carpet. They’re still beautiful in front of the blue sky. Maybe the tree likes having them down there, protected from the wind. We’re getting ready for high winds and freezing temperatures, so I’m glad I captured these leaves to share.

Below is a bouquet of leaves I collected from my backyard and shared in a previous post

Very pretty leaf bouquet JoAnna! The idea of tree clinging on the leaves (or is it the other way around) ahead of the really cold weather is so touching!! Lovely images!!
