Stubborn leaf
by: Penny

What are the odds that a leaf could still be hanging in a tree? Wind should have blown it away, but this is obviously a stubborn leaf! If it's still there in the spring, you had better give it a name! Thanks for the picture.
The Maple Leaf Forever.
by: Donalda,Coldwater Ontario

Your picture reminds me of the story about how the song "The Maple Leaf Forever came to be.
The Maple Leaf Forever, Canada's first (but unofficial) national anthem, was composed in 1867, the year of Confederation. It was written by school principal Alexander Muir as an entry to a patriotic poetry contest. The story goes that Muir and friend George Leslie were out for a walk when a maple leaf fell onto Muir's coat sleeve. Leslie suggested the maple leaf as a theme for Muir's poem, which Muir later set to music.
Good picture,Katie!
