The leaf peeping in my neighborhood is spectacular right now! Took my dog for a walk on this beautiful day and couldn't stop taking photos. I LOVE this time of year!!

@sciguy18 Don’t take them. They serve a purpose. “Leaves are a natural habitat for butterflies, salamanders, chipmunks, box turtles, toads, shrews, earthworms, and others. They lay eggs in the leaves and feed on and under the leaf layer. By raking or blowing leaves, you disrupt their life cycle and eliminate beneficial insects.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/10/14/should-rake-leaves-this-fall/10461351002 https://www.anloncustomhomes.com/5-reasons-not-to-rake
