Yesterday was the day when the leaves fell. It is always a treat to watch as the sun hits them after a night with a good freeze. It was 19 degrees.
There must be some layer of ice that holds them to the tree because as the sun hits them, they all let go and it rains leaves and that is what has been happening. At six in the morning, the trees were full and by six in the evening they were almost bare.
It reminds me of the closing clip of "The Third Man."It is always a treat to see this phenomenon and it leads to all sorts of profound thoughts.
Leaves have long been a focus of meditation for me. I like to think of every leaf as representing one of us. 
Look around. That's a lot of leaves - a lot of representing. Makes one think differently about that carpet of pine needles..... and raking.
A heron? down by the Charles
