Tis the Season for Leaves to Fall

Sorry about the garbage cans. I couldn't get them out of the photo without removing more of the tree, and I didn't want to do that. Besides, if we get rid of the green waste bins, where will the home owners put the leaves after they rake them up? Like this photo best? Please vote it up. 

The sycamore tree has covered the owner's lawn, his driveway, the sidewalk, and the gutter beside the curb in the street. It doesn't seem to bother the lady walking her dogs, but someone will have to clean these leaves up. Is this the photo you want to vote up?

My neighbor's sycamore tree has supplied the leaves the wind has blown all over my garden. Here they nestle between the gazanias in bloom on the left, the black sage in back, and the Lamb's Ears on the right. They are also everywhere else in my flower beds and the gardener quit last month. I guess that means it's my job to get rid of these. Do you like this photo? If so, please vote it up. 

They have also landed on the homeowner's front lawn and the surrounding sidewalks, but I can only show you one view, and I chose this one. Like it? Vote it up. 

The leaves have come from three separate trees -- oak, mulberry, and our old friend, the sycamore. Like this photo best? Please vote it up. 

Yes, it's our old friend the sycamore to blame for this again. If this is your favorite of these pictures, please vote it up. 

For once we can't blame the sycamore trees for this pile. I'm not sure what this tree is, but it doesn't have the right leave shape for a sycamore. Can you identify it?

Of course, the snowman doesn't have to rake them up or blow them away. He's there to let you know it's already December 10 and the leaves still fall. Here in my part of California, it's leaves that fall in December -- not snow. Is this your favorite photo in this post? If so, vote it up to let me know.
