the quick and the dead

Leaves have not yet greened the big trees, but some small grasses are already in flower. They are not wasting any time.


Meanwhile, I have been finding skeletons of last year's leaves. I found a perfect one and exclaimed over it, then got distracted by something else and didn't take it with me. Later I remembered and went to look for it and found a different, less perfect one.

It looks like a net. By itself it may catch a number of things; strengthened with a spell, more.
