Walking around during autumn and early winter reveals so many beautiful sights, particularly leaves on the ground which are ripped and torn by the wind, the feet of people, the tyres of cars and bikes.  Every leaf is different.  Every leaf becomes more interesting as it loses is solid form, turning into graceful lacy shreds, while maintaining its own unique origin story.  In these cases, less is certainly more!
