At first, I thought many of these fallen, and sometimes "trapped" leaves or flowers were beautiful, but sad. The idea of the SuperLeaf character added a little drama-- look for him /her peeking in from time to time.
Upon closer examination of these leaves, however, I notice a multitude of characters. These aren't damsels in distress. There are bustling crowds, dancers, acrobats, birds, ballerinas, posers, friends, hitchhikers and surfers out for a fun ride; some strap themselves in, some throw caution to the wind. Some like glittering jewels. Sometimes you can see a faint trace where one once was, but let go... perhaps off to explore another part of the world. They have memories and relationships and community. The more I look around, the more I see!
