Alphabetaphilia: L is for Leaves on February 13


Hello readers and writers,

Perhaps L is for Late today.  I had some issues with getting my computer to admit it was plugged in, but now it seems okay.  Leaves are so cool.  Now that I live in So Cal, autumn leaves are few and far between, but I still love the shapes of trees whose leaves have left them behind, and enjoy the misty green tips of those trees thinking about producing new leaves in spring.  A magic moment I recall from fifth grade, when I had to begin wearing glasses, was seeing that all those tree-blobs were made up of wonderful, twinkling, individually mobile leaves on the way home from the optician's office.

So let leaves inspire you to choose five words beginning with L, use them in a sentence, and post in comments.

cheers,
Laura

Liriodendron, lacy, languorous, littoral, level

On the plain before the sea, Liriodendron languorously held their tulip flowers high above the lacy surf, while at the littoral level, all was calm and fish languorously nibbled the lacy algae.

Leprechaun, laughed, lyrically, lamb, lush, lit, leaning, lucky, licorice

The leprechaun laughed lyrically, at the sight of the lamb gamboling through the lush field lit with the dazzling colors of the rainbow, before leaning back onto his shovel in search of that lucky pot of licorice.
