In most deciduous trees in the temperate climate zones on earth, as leaves experience senescence, they change from green to another color and then fall from the tree, to rot on the ground below.

My knees are a good case in point when the weather is cold and damp. This morning they sound like a bowl of rice crispies.

Depending on your time zone, it's my 37th birthday (March 16). I'm pretty sure senescence applies to me.
