I love your metas. I never give things this much thought. I consider myself 'along for the ride' in my fandoms. Does this make me the 'mirror?' I'm the fan the show needs me to be?

Thinking about the leaf ... it does change a lot the Series. The first leaf you show outs maple. I believe the second is ash. The one in the book ... I think that is paper made to look like the leaf, probably so it can be used without crumbling. The third leaf is like that second leaf but I don't think it is the same species. It's somewhere between the maple and the second pictured leaf .....

I have more thoughts ... but now I must identify the leaves.
