Thank you Jemma :)
Beautiful.
You are a philosopher my friend…all so true. We all felt it and yearned for all those leaves out there and now see it in our children...
I found something similar. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/371...
The young caterpillars were happy to have a leaf to eat. Then they discovered that there were hundreds of leaves, on the same tree, then they grew up and found that there was a world of leaves out there, and left. This is the disadvantage of becoming adult. :)
