I got to crunch some leaves today.

Big, dry, crunchy leaves!

When is the last time you crunched some leaves?

I came across a very interesting Leaf Craft,

While the bottom photo appears to be more doodling style.

I am saving a zentangle post for later.

People do quite a bit more with leaves and art also.

This Indonesian artist uses strong coffee to paint leaves with:

Ghidaq al-Nizar aka ‘coffeetopia’

Wow!

Take a look outside.

Take a short walk, even if it is just down your driveway

Or around the block.

Enjoy the Leaves!

Why not invite someone else to go on the walk with you?
