fallen leaves
Ground-covering tree droppings
Fallen leaves are leaves that have dropped from trees, typically in autumn.
The phrase evokes seasonal change, decay, and the passage of time: The yard was covered in fallen leaves.
Raking or clearing fallen leaves is a common autumn chore.
The image carries melancholic or nostalgic associations in poetry and everyday speech.
