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.
