Brown and Down

Fallen Leaf on Walkway

The sidewalk had been blown clear of debris, and moments later playful, swirling winds swept this dry leaf back onto the walk. Though its summer green and its autumn colors have all faded to drab brown as seen above, it still holds its own poetic beauty. It is in the process of being recycled so that its nutrients can be used by other plants to create more vibrant leaves in the spring by the very same process that brought this leaf into being.

And so life goes on.
