Leaves

"If a man owns land,
the land owns him."
--R. W. Emerson

My computer is still as slow as molasses. It is probably even slower than I am raking leaves--if that is possible. As for the green elephantine-looking leaves in the photo, I do not know the name of the tree which sheds them. Needless to say, the other leaves are dwarfed by comparison. But as far as the land owning me, it does, because every year I relinquish more land back to its natural state; each year more lawn turns into meadow, and I plan on turning that into woods someday.
