#61 - Autumn Oak Leaves

Oh come on, if you were creating a world don't you hope you'd think of leaves that died like this! Talk about grand gestures of farewell - this is "Hasta la vista, baby" at it's finest! Had just laid out these leaves yesterday when the sun slanted down through the trees and caught them perfectly, it was one of those special moments...and then, a moment later, a friend rang me to say another friend had died unexpectedly last night. Shed a few tears there in the wood, not for our friend whose body was so tired and worn out, but for her family left behind, and we held hands and said a prayer for them over the oak leaves who die so beautifully every year.
