FALLING LEAVES, EPISODE V: Here are today's pictures. First, the pond view, taken from the lot adjacent to our home. It has a pretty good view of the pond, especially since that 'retaining wall' is the remains of a large pine that fell (and cleared out a lot of underbrush) last month. Leaves are sparce, but mostly green as the prior week's winds pretty well cleared al the dead leaves from the foliage.

This second photo is from alongside the steep slope south of the house. The slope is densely treed and somewhat protedted from the winds, so it is one of the few areas where there is some color.

The last of today's photos is looking south from our road, across the highway and looking at the hills beyond. As with the rest of the photos in today's series, it's mostly still green, the dead leaves having been blown down in the winds.

Last week's photos are here.
