I do not know if I would have looked down upon this leaf as it lay on the ground and thought bird, but it does make me smile to know that a friend did think such a thing of this leaf and then went on to think that I might like to have it and so she safely tucked it away until she could give it to me as a gift. I took it home and placed it in a bowl with other leaves and stones. Every now and then I’d glance at it and squint and try to see through my friend’s eyes. Somehow it was this morning that I looked upon it and saw the bird in flight.
Your story made me smile. Sounds like a very sweet friend. 🙂
So true about the leaf looking like a bird xx
