When I walk from the parking lot, I cross a high footbridge, go down some stairs, cross another footbridge in the courtyard, and the proceed up the stairs to my apartment. In the courtyard just to the east of the path I take are two oak trees. I can see their tops over Building 3, from the parking lot. One is a willow oak and is a good solid yellow while the other is a red oak and is a nice orangey rust. It's pretty striking with them right there together. The diversity of oaks is amazing--so many leaf shapes, sizes and colors of acorns, and even colors in the fall.

The white oaks are finally changing color, and they're a deep red. When it rains (more on that November 16) they darken to burgundy.

This isn't one of the aforementioned white oaks, but I thought it was worth showing the change
from November 5 to November 12, when I took this picture.
