37. Leaf

#31 Leaf

Legolas hummed a soft tune to himself as he walked the woods of his home in Mirkwood. The season changed once again, this time from summer into fall. He loved this time of the year when the leaves would turn from bright green of the spring and summer months to different shades of yellow, red and oranges of fall.

Legolas smiled as he noticed a single leaf of the brightest red twirl slowly down and land at his feet. Picking it up he turned it between his fingers with a smile playing on his lips as he watched the color spin brilliantly before his eyes. "Such a wondrous thing how a small leaf can create such beauty and awe in the world," Legolas said aloud.

Finally, after staring at it for a while, he heard the dinner bell chime. Letting the leaf drop to the ground to join the rest of the other leaves which cascaded the forest floor in a bright display of watercolors, Legolas walked back home to join the other elves for supper in which they would later celebrate the birth of a new season.
