Leaf Impressions

My sister recently moved into a new house, and I got to see it for the first time a week and a half ago. It’s a lovely house, but I was most pleased by the leaf impressions that I noticed in her freshly poured driveway.

Apparently, it was fall when they did the driveway, and falling leaves from nearby trees got in the way of a smooth concrete slab.

I loved how the grain of the driveway and the tire marks looked against the ghost leaves in the afternoon light.

I imagine that after long use of the driveway, the leaf prints will eventually be worn away.
