This is from a couple of weeks ago. Now the leaves are all bedraggled if they are on the trees at all and the sky is grey.
Leaves can't grow without branches. On this alder you also find seeds (male and female)
Thanks for taking time to comment, fave and look at my picture. It is much appreciated.
I listened to Doris Day's 1956 "Autumn Leaves" recording on YouTube, just before I uploaded this. Her recording of this song is so very beautiful; very much like these leaves! Happy fall! :-):-)

green is go
yellow & red
slow down, stop
take time to rest

Young lilac leaves covered by snow. Unfortunately, the snow is still here...
Młode listki bzu przykryte białą czapką. Niestety, śnieg wciąż jeszcze leży...
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold,
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
--Robert Frost, "Nothing Gold Can Stay"

I love this time of year where leaves such as these are all shiny and new, so beautiful and fresh. A joy to behold.
After the rain last week, there were so many beautiful drops - the rain was light enough to accumulate, not crash down upon the plants. I just kept finding more lovely shots. Okay, I look for whatever positives I can find in a very rainy location :)
Winter will soon be over, and the sapling beech trees will lose their dead leaves as this year's leaf buds open. One theory as to why the leaves remain on is to protect the younger trees from browsing deer. At least one study suggests that the buds hidden by the leaves do not get eaten and therefore become the new shoots and leaves in spring. This juvenile trait may disappear as the tree matures and becomes less susceptible to damage.
