This set of leaves amazed me.

They ended up here during a windstorm last fall – in the dogwood tree on our patio.

They are definitely not dogwood leaves, but probably from one of our hickory trees.

Their kryptonite – the thing that weakened them – was the winter rain and wind of last week.
I was almost sad to see them gone the other day. I was hoping they would still be here in springtime when the new dogwood leaves starting blooming.

Something to Ponder

Is that a little bit of leftover snow on the leaves?
It was a rainy day – before the one that took them down.
