These are the leaves that adorned part of the fence behind the garden. The red leaves glistened under the sun and some were hanging from above. They seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, but their bright colour couldn’t be missed. They quietly stood out of the garden’s greenery. Their strong scarlet pigment was pleasant to look at. They reminded me of my childhood and the countless hours I would spend playing in the fall foliage. The garden’s purpose for inviting the community to spend more time in nature was felt. My time there evoked strong memories and feelings of nostalgia.
