Papery leaf
This is what our big, yellow maple leaves look like a while after they fall. They get all papery and eventually fall apart, unlike the oak leaves, which never seem to decompose.

Pile of oak leaves
Part of last fall’s leaf cleanup effort, which I never quite complete. Many of them are still out there, safe for a while under a blanket of snow.

Another nice tree in our yard – this dogwood’s got pretty white flowers in the spring and the leaves turn this fiery mottled red and yellow in the fall.
