The Last Mulberry Leaves

            The mulberry trees—I have two in the front of the house and two in back—are noticeably reluctant each fall to drop their leaves.  They shed them slowly through autumn from the top of the tree down, finally leaving only a fringe of leaves along the bottom branches, a band of yellow/green which will only drop with the first hard freeze.  Between Christmas and New Year's Day this year, the hard freeze came—two nights' worth—with the temperature dropping to 24 degrees F (-4 degrees C).  In early fall, I don't have to rake up the fallen leaves, for they are still partly green, and the goats like to eat them as a seasonal delicacy.  But for the last batch of leaves, blackened by the frost and blown by winter's wind up against the little barn, I get the rake.

Camera: Zenit ET (1982-1993, with Pentax Super-Takumar 55mm f/1.8 lens).

Film: 35mm 100 ISO Arista.edu Ultra, developed in Arista Liquid Developer for 6:30 minutes @ 70 degrees, and scanned with an Epson V600 scanner.
