I do wonder if people think I’m crazy as I walk through downtown Boston and other city centers picking up leaves and sticking them in any available pocket.
I keep thinking I should plan a specific leaf-picking adventure with a proper bucket or plastic bag as container. But somehow it is more fun to be walking along to work or to shop and to be open to the possibility of finding … something … along the way.
Of course it is easy to behave that way when the sun is shining and autumn leaves glow like jewels falling from the sky.
I’ll be curious what’s to be found on the ground this day. Hope your day goes well wherever you are in the world. 😉

Reblogged this on Tracey in Maine.
Fall colors are absolutely a favorite. I tend to pick them up and scatter them around my dining table
I pick up leaves all the time too this time of the year and I’m not even a photographer! I like to look at them later or just have them around the house. Guess we’re both “crazy”! Ha-ha.
Really like the third one, wonderful coloration.
Amazing how you just take casually fallen leaves — and turn them into things of beauty.
This sounds like something I would do! We have to hold on to all this color before November hits and everything turns to shades of gray!
Hmmm. That might be a fun project … to capture all the shades of gray. 😉
