NATURE. PHOTO ESSAY.

When Every Leaf Turns Into a Flower

Fall is the season that teaches us that change can be beautiful

The colors of fall are something to soak in as soon as they appear because you never know how long they’ll last. Something you don’t have to tell me, a person who can’t be stopped taking pictures of the festival of colors.

Piles of fallen leaves are currently my most popular subject.

The trees aren’t blank yet but most of them have changed the color of their plumage.

Where humans haven’t gotten behind raking the many leaves, a soft bed has formed.

The forest floor especially has gotten an extra layer of cushions.

I can look no further but this bed of fallen leaves.

And a single leave standing out.

But fall has more to offer than just leaves changing their colors.

Fruits.

Fruits are ripe on the trees but tiny fruits, often poisonous, also do grow on bushes on the side of roads and pathways. With their orange or red color, they add to the fall’s charming vibes.

Acorn and maple trees are what are standing out the most in this season. Their leaves don’t just have an interesting shape but also take on all kinds of colors.

Here we go, closing this post with one last yellow and green leaf standing out in an otherwise very brown foliage.
