Autumn


The ground is covered with fallen leaves. It feels as if autumn is here.


Car park of my office


Looking at the fallen leaves, I can't help walking down the memory lane. I remembered the happy times when my parents took us to the park in Perth. They would sit on the bench while watching us jumping in the air, trying to catch falling maple tree leaves.




They said, with each leave we catch we can make one wish. Greedy me. I caught a lot of leaves and made a lot of wishes... So many that I lost count of them. I can't remember my wishes either. Too many to remember I guess.



It is a great memory. Everytime I see maple tree or fallen leaves, I think of our carefree moments in the park and what my parents said about maple tree leaves. It's interesting how something so small can leave a deep mark in my mind.

I wonder if any of my wishes came true...

Hmmm... Probably...
