October 31 - 8 days since the heading picture - Real change since yesterday

For the first time since I have been photographing the tree every afternoon, I have noticed a real change since the day before.

Today the tree is looking distinctly more orangey than yesterday (see the post below). I was quite a cold night last night and the night before and maybe that is what is making the difference. Also, as a harbinger of things to come, I found the first bare branch - only a tiny one. But there will be more to later.

I've added a couple of pics from the leaf litter and area round the base of the oak. And a close up of the leaves.
