The final returns on yesterday's OOTNDITHOD is that it actually was just that. A new all time high record temperature for the date was recorded and reported as such in the morning press. Very, very nice indeed.
I have posted photos of Sheldon Street several times in the past. The leaves on the white oak trees are late to change and then hang onto the branches long into the winter. By spring they are on the ground though and there is space for the new growth.
Here is a look at Sheldon Street a couple of days ago.
I was moved to photograph Sheldon Street again by what I found earlier on in that ride in the Desnoyer Park neighborhood of the big city just to our south. This is Cromwell Avenue looking south.
Today was another unbelievable day for November. We had hockey so we missed some of the best parts. And then there is this whole new problem that even though it is only a bit past 5pm it is already dark.
*sigh*
The dark season has begun.

I just read a National Weather Service forecast for a colder and snowier winter than average here. These posts will be fun to look back on then -- November can turn on a dime.
The dark season.
This is the third and last time I will try to comment!
Lovely photos. I am so glad I walked along the Mississippi before the hockey game.
HOW WAS HOCKEY GAME, AND WHAT WAS THE SCORE??
I don't know how to differentiate between the different varieties of oaks. We have some oak trees whose leaves are currently a muddy brown, and others with that pretty russet color in your second photo. They are all stubborn about holding on to their leaves, as you say.
Probably too nice a day to go inside a building with ice on the floor but we DO like hockey.
