Just one leaf...

The other day, while I was doing my stretching exercises in my garden and standing bent over, my gaze fell on a cherry tree leaf at my feet. It was so beautiful that I paused my exercises to take a picture of it. Isn’t nature amazing—that it can produce such colors and such a play of colors in just a single leaf? Just think how hard we humans have to work to artificially create something even remotely similar.

Warm regards from Ina

It’s the little things that matter. We just have to make sure we don’t lose sight of them.

Nature is wonderful in its shapes and colors

Thank you for sharing 

Beautiful—thanks for sharing!

Wow, what a work of art by nature. Thanks for sharing, Ina.
I’m always amazed, too, when we go for walks now and come across such wonders.

Only nature can produce something like this—thank you for sharing, dear Ina.

Unfortunately, I keep noticing that there are people who just don’t appreciate it at all, I always go for a morning walk with my dog through the forest that borders our property, and yesterday I was really annoyed—the day before, a few fly agaric mushrooms were still peeking out of the ground, small and tiny, and yesterday they were just lying there, trampled underfoot. They look so pretty standing there with their red caps—it’s a shame that some people have to destroy everything.

That’s very kind of you, Ina. Yes, fall with its vibrant colors really is wonderful.
I also believe that the older you get, the more you notice those little things that bring you joy.
You somehow become more aware of nature—no matter how small the beetle or little flower may be. Some people even ruin that little bit of a “perfect” world, like with the fly agaric mushrooms. That’s annoying, especially since fly agaric mushrooms look so cute.

You’re absolutely right, dear Andrea. The older we get, the more consciously we enjoy everything and appreciate its value.
