This patch of grass beneath a nearby maple tree was once covered with red leaves. Today it’s a snowy mess, and whatever leaves are left have long since shrivelled to brown.
But on that unseasonably warm October day, autumn’s colours flared brilliantly one last time, and the winds held off just long enough so we could enjoy the scene before winter repainted it.
I’m under no illusion that any of this is materially important to any of us. They’re just leaves on grass, after all, another milestone in a planetary cycle that never seems to end.
But for a brief moment on an otherwise ordinary day, an almost-bare tree painted a vibrant carpet of red on a perfectly shaded stretch of grass. I thought it was worth remembering.
