031 - fallen leaves

It seems strange to take a photo of fallen leaves when we're so far past autumn, but that's what we've ended up with in our bedroom recently. We bought a ficus tree and brought it home to live with us, and about two weeks later, it started dropping leaves. We weren't concerned at first, but when Eric shook the tree a little bit and ended up ankle deep in leaves, I began to worry that the tree was about to bite the dust. Eric did some poking around online, though, and he found some info that suggests that a ficus tree will often drop its leaves after a change in environment. Hopefully that's the case!
