Leaves are ever-changing, and we see their colours as a marker for the passing of time. Seasons move in cycles, and leaves are the indicator that can tell us without having to look at a calendar what time of year it is. I also find them quite artistic; I enjoy their little details, and seeing them up close is one of the more appealing parts of macro photography. This really becomes most interesting to me in the fall when we see the colours shift and the details become more distinct as they dry. It's something that I find I do every autumn, and it will always be a change I look forward to.
