Leaf-Crushed Trails

12/3/2023, red R, 9:30-11:30

Gray clouded day
Grays and browns and faint late autumn oranges
Vibrant mosses amidst subdued colors
Birds and foragers extremely active
Mind highly focused on future plans
Dry, petal-less remains of flowers in prairie
Breezes gently swish the tall, dry grasses
One vibrant red streak amidst the browns, tans and subtle roses
Soft, quiet footsteps on leaf-crushed trails
Gentle winds coax lingering leaves from branches
Still amazed by the number of trees that fall precisely “into the arms” of a neighboring tree
