Lovely photos Anders. Thanks.
It could almost be central Texas. Most of the oaks around here are called live oaks, because they have leaves on all the year round. A few Texas red oaks are sprinkled in, so called for their brilliant Fall color.
My live oaks are dropping their leaves into my swimming pool as I write, the new leaves pushing the old ones off.
The oaks are dropping a few acorns as well. The squirrels are busy.
I haven't seen for a while the feral cat who used to come through my back yard every day, chasing the squirrels who teased it, but never catching one.
I set out food for the cat a couple of times, but it stalked past in disdain. I suppose the raccoons ate it at night.
The land slopes down sharply behind the houses, so there is headroom under the back decks. My next door neighbors but one trapped two red foxes beneath their deck. Next door but one on the other side, the new owner had to add more fencing because the deer were sleeping under his deck in the daytime, causing a mess.
Maybe once in a month's time I will hear a coyote or two howl at night in the woods to the west. They are around all the time, but they have learned to be very circumspect.
