golden leaves

Seasonal tree adornment

Golden leaves are leaves that have turned yellow or orange, especially in autumn when trees shed their foliage.

The phrase evokes seasonal change and natural beauty: The path was covered in golden leaves.

Golden leaves also appear in metaphors for aging, transience, or the passage of time.
