Today, I shot some pictures showing another face of nature's beauty and the charm of dry leaves scattered across the street. While these have dried up and drifted down this autumn, they paint the streets with earthy colors of gold, brown, and rust and hence painting a unique kind of art on the streets.
Some people consider the leaves a dirt, even an eyesore. To me, they are a stunning layer to nature's design. The leaves all have something to tell because they were once green, full of life, and taking in the sun's rays; now they have become part of the landscape of autumn. They add texture and character to the streets, reminding us of the natural cycle of life.
A walk down a street with these leaves is a reminder of how nature finds beauty even in the processes of change and endings. From the crunch of the leaves underfoot to the scattered dance they take in a breeze, even the most details present yet another reason to find the quiet yet profound transformations around us all season.
Dry leaves remind me of the serenity that can be attributed only to nature. I share these pictures with my readers to offer a different perspective. The next time any of you pass by a street completely covered with fallen leaves, take some time to observe the natural artistry and welcome the beauty around you in the change of season. It's a way nature reminds us that every stage carries beauty with it.
