Just a few more and then we're done

The large red oak on the east side of the house is nearly done dropping this year's leaves. A prolific leaf and acorn maker, past discussions have centered on the tree's removal but the shade it provides outweighs the annual clean-up.  This warm fall season though has had prevailing winds from the southwest---similar to springtime.  This allowed the dropping leaves to target the pool area as seen below.  The saving grace in all of this is the mulch that I'll get to put into the flower beds over the winter!!
