Holm oaks

Strange really to see huge vistas of autumnal colours at this time of year, but this is when all the local oak trees shed their leaves for fresh, lime-green new ones.

In the meantime the crisp, dry leaves are absolutely everywhere blocking drains and creating a mess!

I forgot to mention I've updated some pics of a rural San Isidre celebration (Patron Saint of Farming and Countryside, I think) which we discovered at the weekend. Pics on my blog here
