@afg i am a #compost defeatist in the #Winter - I give up hope and turn again in the #Spring. I have 30 bags of #leaves stored up g do or all the Spring/Summer greens.
Honored to announce that "October Gold" won second place (or came in third, depending on your interpretation) in the 1/12/2024 contest "Things That Involve Trees." My thanks to contest administrator, Jenn Bakker, and everyone who voted for my image. Congratulations to the other winners!

Autumn leaf ringed in frost. I took this photo about a month ago, fully expecting much colder weather to follow, but it's been in the 50's more than 30's around here. Not complaining!
Changing Fall Leaves watercolor painting. Whimsical art available as an art print, or on items of home decor - coffee mugs, throw pillows, totes, apparel and more.
