December 7: Final hold-outs

Most of the deciduous trees are bare now. The half-a-tree white oak I pass on campus still has all its leaves, which have turned a lovely, even brown, and there is another oak variety that hangs onto a few of its leaves, mainly in the lower branches, until the new buds open in the spring. (Note to self: identify this variety when time permits.)

Again, the leaves have been "cleaned up" and carried away in the places where people care about such things. But in the other places, they're still happily piled up and collecting in corners, blown by the wind.
