October snow ... leaves fall behind

  12 October 06: When the snow comes early in fall, the leaves fall behind.

      Six inches of wet snow fell this afternoon in Buffalo, leaving the leaves of fall on the trees, which are bowed to the ground, or simply snapped off from the extra weight.

    It is by far the earliest snow in the 14 years that we have lived here.

    For a change of pace, I took some pix after dark, using flash.

Our privet hedge, which at about six feet should be towering over the Reverend's head, is bowed to the ground by the wet snow.
