FALLING LEAVES 2025 PREVIEW: My fall series will begin (for certain) by Oct 5th since we'll be gone until then.

In the meantime, here are a couple from late August, just before the leaves began to fall in earnest. This first is of our yard, where it seems the weakest trees are failing:

The next is of our pond, of which we now have a decent view by way of judicious tree trimming. The trees are still green but only because the winds have thinned the dead leaves out.

This last one is of the subdivision pond. It's still green and fairly thickly covered, mostly because it's well-protected from sun and wind.

Until October, when the series will resume.
