[Leica] IMG: Red Maple

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Ted,

Today, after a strong southerly wind, the red maple is bare, and the 
ground beneath it is totally red.  It is amazing how two days can make 
such a change.  As soon as the poplar and oak leaves fall, I will crank 
up the tractor for one last heavy leaf mulching job.
