I don't think I'd ever noticed before how the leaves on a tree turn from green to some other color, but a tree we walk by every day kinda got all in my face with it. It's a very show-off-y tree, not that I mind.

| This tree, as we walked past it, seemed to have gilt leaves, like old books whose pages are gold-gilt around their edges. |

| A closer inspection made it even easier to see the gold-gilt edges of these beautiful leaves. |

| A week later, the gold is creeping inward. But slowly. |
I'm very much enjoying this slow-moving movie, with its cinematic fade from one state to the next. We haven't gotten to the cliff hanger yet!
I haven't had the chance to visit for a bit, and I'm in the same movie with my new berry bushes. Not much is going on but I check on them each day and see their colors change a little, and a few more leaves drop.
