Your question about ‘what behind the scene aspect of life do we appreciate?’ got me thinking about leaves, fall foliage and the slow-motion color explosion that many of us living in deciduous forest areas get to experience right about now (Sept/Oct). Much of the fall color that we see in maple, aspen and birch was there all year round, we just did not see it. The green of chlorophyll masks the colors, and when the tree begins to slow down for winter and the chlorophyll levels fall, the foliage colors shine though. I really appreciate leaves on trees. Not only do they cool us down, but they provide us oxygen to breath and then there is this magic color revelation in each leaf as the air turns crisp and the sun arcs lower in the sky. Enjoy!
