treasures

every fall season when i am out walking
i find myself picking up little treasures like these.
i stash them away in my pockets until i return home and file them into
the pages of  heavy books to flatten them out.
i love how they come out all crisp and soft. i also love
examining their shape and color. they are so pretty and inspiring!
who knows,
i may just stick them into a garden journal or use them for thanksgiving  decorations!
