brown

"time hurries on
and the leaves that are green turn to brown
and they wither with the wind
and they crumble in your hand
once my heart was filled with a love for a girl
i held her close but she faded in the night
like a poem i meant to write
and the leaves that are green turn to brown"
- leaves that are green, paul simon

that's the song that comes to mind every time i see dead leaves.

there's always a song associated with anything i see.
I recognize that song! Lovely shot!!

Nice brown! I was just noticing that some of the oaks have gotten rid of their "hangers-on" recently. Maybe the new leaf buds aren't far behind!

It's the wrong time of year for that color of a leaf, ;-).

@cscecil - you can't, you're way too young when this was popular! :-) thank you, CS.

@olivetreeann - yup, i've seen some signs of new lives sprouting through dead understories. but it is too darn cold that's why they're stumped! thank you, ann.

@trbo - i know, i just lifted it up from a bush with leaves that never turn brown. don't worry, this is just for photo op and has nothing to do with the real weather (which is cold and miserable, it might as well be fall). thank you, travis.

@sarasdadandmom - thank you, terry.

@tsteall - thank you, tammie.

@inertie - thank you, pinar.
