Leaves
(and other planar objects) outside in
their natural environment and subject to
other factors, such as winds, of course
will not always behave in a fashion condusive to easy
mapping by observers. Beautiful to

complex motions of a leaf in the wind
requires very advanced mathematics. [3] To help display examples of such phenomena, here are two videos: |
