Leaves From Afar

Look at the size of this leaf!

Yesterday I did a final leaf cleaning around the yard. And found numerous specimens of this gigantic size. Scary. I know there was nothing this big hanging over my head in the summer. That would not look like leaf cover. That would look like a tree filled with patio umbrellas! The only explanation I can find that makes sense...aliens. Someone from another planet is dumping his/her/its fallen leaves in my yard! That would certainly explain why I keep raking but never finish.

Is it the same aliens who keep stealing my socks out of the friggin' dryer?

Michele sent me! :)

It must be the aliens that keep littering in front of our building, since those teenagers from the driving school insist it's not them.

that's gi-normous! You could make a huge leaf pile to jump into with, like, four of those.

That is one mother-sized leaf! I rather like this time of autumn, where the stunning colors are gone and the residual wisps of leaves are down on the ground.

There's beauty in the leftovers. This entry captures it.

Hi from Michele's this time. But I come on my own, too.

Looks like a sycamore leaf. We have one of those in backyard. That sucker has enough sail surface to travel quite a distance with the right puff of wind. But you must have a sycamore somewhere close by, most likely upwind from you. Or aliens...
