    A Story of Fallen Leaves

    Birch Leaf

    “There is something incredibly nostalgic and significant about the annual cascade of autumn leaves.” – Joe L. Wheeler

    Each fall I watch the leaves change colors and fall from the trees. A gust of wind blows and leaves are separated from the branches. It’s beautiful to observe. Yet, these leaves fall onto sidewalks, pavement or rock beds. We rake them into piles and bag them, preventing them from living their full life cycle of decomposition, a vital part of nature.
