This is actually a baby oak I spotted because of the large leaves and the colors, of course. This year it seemed that the oaks were producing huge leaves, and especially the small trees...so if this looks like a pile of leaves, it wasn't..just a sapling aspiring to be a mighty big oak.

Maybe we are all headed for a very strong winter. I've noticed the same phenomenon. Nice capture.

I thought you had to check coats on "Wooly Worms" to predict winter. I'll see if I can find one down the road. I think this litte sapling is "rutting." It is the season you know. Very good shot and I too like the Oak Leaves when they change.
Great post PJ.

This reminds me of when I was a kid I'd gather leaves, then iron them with waxed paper to make them last. I smell those leaves PJ! A wonderful image with great lighting. :)
