Maple Watch: November 15

Two weeks of Maple Watch and there is still a lot of color, although the cloudy day makes the tree less vibrant in photos than it appears in person, especially when one stands under it.

As the photo above clearly shows, the leaves are falling rapidly and leaving the tree about half bare. Small still life compositions like the one at left show up on the steps.



Although Raymond and his friend raked 35 bags of leaves on Thursday, the ground and drive is already almost ankle deep in more maple leaves. We went to the store today for groceries and we bought more paper leaf bags for the final cleanup, to be done when the tree is finally bare.
