High above the back porch, supported
by a thick brown trunk, exists a ceiling of leaves. From
green to yellow, yellow to orange, and orange to brown, the leaves paint a
vibrant and colorful canopy. Some of the leaves are
quite solid in their appearance, others, a diverse mix of
green, yellow, orange, and
brown; creating patterns ranging from
dots, splotches of color, and more subtle gradients. As the
breeze blows, the leaves dance in the wind.
Some detach from their stems and drift slowly to the ground, where they will come to rest.
