Abstract: A leaf catching device includes a flexible net having a medial opening and is movable between folded and deployed positions. The flexible net when in the deployed position extends outwardly from a tree trunk passing through the medial opening for catching falling leaves. An inner support ring is coupled to the flexible net adjacent the medial opening, and an outer support ring is coupled to the flexible net adjacent an outer edge thereof. Ground supports are coupled to the inner and outer support rings for elevating the flexible net above ground when in the deployed position.

Abstract: A safety warning system for a vehicle includes a housing carried by the vehicle, and a telescoping extension member carried by the housing. The telescoping extension member has a retracted position for storage within the housing and an extended position for extending along the ground. Safety reflectors are carried by the telescoping extension member, and the safety reflectors are spaced apart along the ground when the telescoping extension member is in the extended position so that the safety reflectors are visible to oncoming traffic. A controller within a passenger area of the vehicle allows the driver to operate the telescoping extension member between the retracted position and the extended position.
