Someone forgot to tell our other maple tree that Fall meant the leaves have to actually fall at some point (if you are a deciduous, not an evergreen)...much nicer weather today but I spent a lot of time cleaning the house. I should not put that on the schedule without looking at the weather outlook :-(
That's a great picture. We used to have an oak tree in our yard in IL that didn't drop it's leaves until the end of January, even though they turned brown in Oct. It was so weird.
