Leaf Fall with Submission to Winter

On sunny days I can hear leaves fall on the cars, and onto the pavements, from inside my office.

They are big leaves from a row of chestnut trees which flank the car-park and the banks of the Leith. They are not horse chestnuts, but some variety of American chestnuts, which they call buckeyes.

All it needed was a couple of days rain

To leave the trees almost leafless. Winter has come.
