The humble leaves are the founders of the feast here on earth.
–––
From grasses to mighty oaks, they are basis of the webs of life and they create the sweet air that we breathe.
It is worth stopping once in a while to give thanks for these verdant miracles of evolution.
And never forget to look closely at their own unique geometric and ramifying beauty of form.
All in all, the leaves are precious things.
