eucalyptus colored

what color is a eucalyptus leaf? well, by definition it is all of the colors above, depending on the season. leather and sage and wintergreen and rust and charred gold. part of the joy of a daily nature practice is that it breaks up all the categories that you thought you knew and teaches you to look more closely at what you thought you already understood. what color is an oak leaf? what color is the surface of a lake? what color is an acorn? what color is snow? the answer in every case is, “let me look at it at just this instant, and i’ll tell you.”
