Oak Leaves

Walking down by the river the other damp morning, I looked down at the pavement and saw these oak leaves flattened and strewn everywhere.

7 Leaves

The leaves on the witch hazel shrub are very showy for a few short days in the fall. They exhibit their extraordinary variety of color and then promptly drop , as if embarrassed by this sudden showiness .
The rest of the year the leaves are modestly uniform .

Out The Window

The kitchen in Briceland is large and sunny. a very appealing place to have a meal, or just a cup of coffee. If you were to be standing at the sink and washing the dishes , this is what you would see out the window.
