A carpet of leaves

This was taken in the morning and believe it or not less than a week since the leaf blower had lifted all the leaves off the grass. A thankless task but it isn't one of mine!

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
John Muir
