Fall in Salt Lake City

Ah, sycamores. The leaf-dropping process takes about 48 hours. Makes raking easy. Overall, fall in Salt Lake City lasts about three weeks:

Week 1: Leaves turn "colors," such as yellowish-brown, orangish-brown, or redish-brown.
Week 2: Leaves turn brown.
Week 3: Leaves fall.

During this process, the weather at any given moment is random. It snowed a week ago. Yesterday it was sunny and 74 degrees. This morning at 9 a.m. it's 37 and raining. Tonight, the forcast low is for 29.

Here's a picture looking from our front door across the street to the east, and one from the driveway looking across the front yard and down the street to the west. Can you spot the falling leaves?
