Oak Leaves and Carrots

These two items seem to be the toughest at hanging on after the summer has passed. The Oak trees are beautiful right now with their bright yellow hue, even after most of the other leaves have passed their color peak. The carrots also cling on into November and we left a few in our garden for harvesting next month. Even with the ground frozen on top, they seem to thrive in their bed of soil.

We "hilled up" our carrots this year and they have a much shorter and plumper profile.

The individual Oak leaves are amazing and I caught these two backlit in the morning sun. There is almost a personality to these that I find fascinating.
