Où sont les feuilles d’antan?

The fall color came and went while I was too sick with colds and too busy with the book to prowl around taking pictures of it.  All the leaves are brown, and lying around all over my yard to boot. I spent some time wandering about, camera in hand, looking for something to photograph, and had to fall back on picturesque fungi.  Not that I want an early winter or anything, but at least snow is photogenic.
