Today when I visited my place, I immediately noticed that there are way more leaves on the ground than last time, and these leaves are all very brown and are decomposing. I noticed that the oak trees have lost many more leaves than the last time I was here. One of the oak trees has no leaves at all, and the other ones have leaves that are orange-brown. Last time, I noticed that one of the white oak trees had leaves that were still green in the center, but now these leaves are completely orange-brown. This same tree has lost some of its leaves, but many are still there. At this point, there are not many vibrant colors, except for a few trees still having yellow leaves. The primary color I see is the green of the eastern white pines, eastern hemlocks, and the northern white cedar. Many trees around my place have completely lost all of their leaves, such as the sugar maple and red maples. Additionally, I noticed that there are still many green ferns on the hill leading down to the brook.
