FALLING LEAVES, EPISODE IX: Well, it's over for 2019. Here's the usual pond view, and there's almost no change from last week - perhaps a few more leaves gone, but that's all.

This view is of the south 'lawn'. No leaves to speak of, but still plenty of brush on the slope which will never go away given its steepness.

Here's the north 'lawn', taken from approximately the same place as the picture above. It's still steep along here, but not so badly the brush can't be cleared out. You can see that the leaves are all on the ground.

The final picture is along our street. The sky is clear and leaves are all gone. The road is visible along this stretch, but in some places the road has disappeared under the leaves.

That's it for this year. See you again in the spring.

Last week's pictures are here.
