Cherish The Fallen

Months of drought have encouraged the leaves to drop early this fall. 

I say goodbye to the canopy and hello to the leaves fallen afoot.

On the ground they become accessible and collectible as they collage our pathways. 

Writer Maria Carvalho wrote about them in the Fall Issue of Woolgathering as “Autumn Jewels” gathered and cherished by mother and son. 

These days, my eyes are glued to the ground watching the composition form and shift with each gust of wind – a kaleidoscope of foliage certainly worth treasuring all season long.
