Fallen leaves

Many of the leaves in our garden have fallen now, although there are still holdouts.

The two white oaks in back still have all their leaves, and one of them, amazingly, is still almost all green although the other has leaves that are a deep maroon color.

The crape-myrtle above my potting bench is a brilliant orange-red. Spectacular.

The big-leaf magnolia (Magnolia macrophylla) is now leafless, but on the ground, they're still lovely.
