FALLING LEAVES, 2020: Week Six.

Here's the usual deck view. Lots of green still, but a lot of leaves on the ground as well. This year we're seeing gold and red as compared to the usual green and gone. The next pictures are not the usuals - this time I've gone around the neighborhood.

This one is from the dam where the road crosses the small pond. It's a morning picture, so the sun is behind me and the camera is aimed toward the spring that feeds our creek.

Now on to the back road that goes to the large pond. In the summer it's a dark tunnel, but enough leaves are gone by now for some sun to peek through. Our house is uphill on the far side of the pond.

The red is a bit faded in the bright morning sun. The trees are along the edge of the 'community park' area on the large pond.

Finally, a 'backroad' picture. It's actually a road along the perimeter of the subdivision, but used only by off-road vehicles because of the severe rutting from the rains over the last couple of years. The plan is to kinda-sorta level it for a walking path ... sometime in the future.

Last week's pictures are here.
