Day 16 - A leaf treasure ode

Leaves.  A marvel of life.  A scientific wonder.  Aesthetic joy.  

They have always fascinated me. 
The transient pink of those young anthocyanin-filled leaves.
The various shades of chlorophyll green.
The brilliant reds of the ready-to-drop Badams.
And then there are the leaves on the ground.



Leaves on the ground.
They are not litter, why do we call it so?
Reds, browns, rust, dust.
Starters of life.
Mushrooms
Fungi
Soil enrichers supreme.
