Trees In Kuantan Part 3 - Leaves

Trees In Kuantan - Part 3 deals with leaves. Leaves are the component of a tree which absorb sunlight to aid in the trees growth and maintain its vitality. They also act as decorative pieces, beautifying the tree they adorn. We used to collect autumnal leaves when I was a child, in all sorts of colours like red, orange, yellow and brown, in various shapes and sizes. However, leaves look best where they belong - on a tree.




A giant layer of skin from a palm tree lies on the floor after being shed by its tree. Though not a leaf in itself, it holds the branches and adjoined leaves in place until their time expires



The green leaves of this palm tree sway gently in the breeze as outdated brown leaves lay idle on the ground



The leaves and branches grow in arcing shapes along the road


The attractive leaves of these palm trees dominate this section of Bukit Ubi in Kuantan


These miniature trees support long, pointed leaves






Like a hand and fingers, these interesting leaves decorate this small plant






Look at these tiny leaves all lined up neatly on the thin branches


Here are some more at a closer range


These trees kind of remind me of the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur. The leaves are neatly ordered in order to gain maximum exposure to sunlight
