Fall is subtle in Texas

This is the corner where Kira and her friends meet the bus in the mornings and get off in the afternoons. You can barely see the fall colors (and here it is almost winter!). They're very subtle here ... no bright reds or yellows like what we can see farther north.

And here are a few of those trees closer up.

This is a few days later than the ones above - not much change except the addition of four children waiting for their bus!

It's fall?

Looking at some of the trees in my yard, it's hard to tell it's fall. There are a few brown or yellow leaves here and there, but that's about it.

An oak

An elm

A crape myrtle early in the morning

Same crape myrtle, later in the day when it was windier!
