I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

The following picture is inspired by how Andy Goldsworthy arranges leaves with their naturally bright pigments to make vivid photographs.
You can see some much more amazing leaf designs from Andy Goldsworthy here:

He painstakingly pins the leaves in place using thorns.
Below is a cartoon musing about a scientist/biomimic/leaf hunter looking for especially aerodynamic leaves, fall leaves that have dried in unique configurations, that he tests in a portable wind-tunnel. He finds a good one and is pleased, imagining a new kite or airfoil design that will help generate energy.
