Today walking back to Kaneko I noticed two trees that just a short while ago were bare on one half and on the other were covered in golden yellow leaves, giving them a strange appearance. My friend remarked about how ugly they looked with the other half of their leaves scattered all around the sidewalk. Then today I suddenly noticed that they were both completely bare! It was so fast and abrupt that it took me by surprise. The two humongous trees now look like cold skeletons standing grey against the bleak sky behind them. Also all of the leaves on the ground are now gone, so I'm wondering if someone removed the rest of the leaves off of the trees to hurry along the process.
