Flowers and leafs in the street

These pictures were taken in my street and around the block on my way to the post office and the organic store. I noticed leafs and flowers in different sizes, colours, stages and positions. The pop of colour sprung to my eye and brightened up my day.

I showed these kind of pictures once to a friend of mine and for her they portrayed a kind of sadness, to her flowers on the street were a reminder of better days. But is that not just in the mind? To me the pictures above do not depict decay, because the colours are so vibrant. Flowers and leafs don't care where they are, they attract people and animals wherever they are. Decay, sadness or loss is what we make of it.
