differences between three different leaves.

The differences in three leaves

   Autumn is almost over, and winter has been approaching. The leaves are so beautiful on campus, and I collected three leaves, which will be compared and contrasted. Although they all look pretty “ autumn”, they have huge differences.

  The first one is the largest one among three, and the second one is smaller than the first one, then the last one is the smallest. The second one and the third one has similar colors, which are a little reddish; where as the first one is medallion, which is like light brown. The second one is the most beautiful one because of the distribution of its color. It is wine of the right side of the leaf, and the bottom is likely to be yellow. The second one also has a red stem, so does the third one. However, the first one has a brown stem, and it seems to be torpid. The thing that they are in common is that all of them have little black dots on their leaf. Plus, the second leaf has a hole on it while another two don’t, it also has a red mark, which is like a special birthmark. The third one is totally blush, which is like pink, but darker than pink. The interesting thing is that they represent the fading of a leaf, because the  third second one is red and yellow, so I assume that it is the youngest one;then the oldest one is medallion, which is the first one; the middle one is the third one because it is red and it is not fading totally.

   I picked these leaves on the ground outside Hurley Hall, and they just left there. Suddenly, I can see their beauty even though they have left their mother trees already. All of them are maples somehow, but they have some differences.
