The birth of a Beech Tree

I am sure you all know this but it is the first time I have actually seen it or been aware of them. There were hundreds of very small squashed up leaves strewn around the borders, around the Beech trees, in the gravel and over the lawns. I was made to feel foolish when I asked someone what they were, as if I should have know they were Beech seedlings. So here you are a Beech seedling leading to the birth of a Beech:)
