The Last Leaf

While the weather holds, I walk at lunchtime with a friend.

Down this path...

The leaves crinkle under our feet. The sound of laughing children echoes from a nearby playground. Crisp air and blue skies almost make you forget the fleeeting nature of the season.

Until today. When we saw this...

The last leaf. Clinging tenaciously to a branch.

Fall's fading glory.
