This is what passes for fall foliage in my neighborhood, a big old holly tree loaded with red berries. A couple of years ago a huge flock of robins stopped by for the better part of two hours and stripped off every single berry on the tree. Salud!
There is a rather miserable looking Canadian Maple across the street, a bit on the young spindly side. The other morning as the sun rose and shown through the red leaves it turned all iridescent ruby and was gorgeous. Then a cloud passed over on a more or less permanent basis this being the southern Oregon coast doncha know.

Still waiting for the majority of our leaves to fall. Won't be in time for Halloween stuffing. (pumpkin bags) Whitnee is wanting to rake leaves for her bags. Oh well.

It's a bit strange round here. It has not yet frozen, but some trees really have thrown anway their leaves already, others hold them and only reluctantly change colours. Was talking with the man who cares for the gardens around here and he showed my trees of this and the other kind. We both could not figure out why this happens, it is definitely strange. In other years it was over night and they all fell down.
