I’ve been watching this tree in my backyard slowly turn golden over the past week. It’s a very full tree and has been quite lovely to see. Even during the winds we got on Thanksgiving, the leaves were still clinging to their branches.
This morning we got up and the sun was shining on my golden tree, as leaves rained down continuously for about 3 hours until the tree was practically nude. It was such an odd sight to see, I took a short video.

The odd thing, and the video proves this out, there was no wind at all. The leaves just LEFT the branches, falling straight to the ground.
That is odd. Perhaps squirrels were jumping up and down on the branches.
