Another cleared fence line

I finished the fence line west of the south entrance on the north tract and had enough energy to harvest enough elements from the debris to make a small holiday wreath. As I wrote earlier, there is very little color now in the scrub. It's green, brown, white and blue, if you include the sky.

Many of the Chapman oaks are shedding leaves and a lot of brown leaves are on the trees. No other plants are doing this. I hope this is only drought-related and not related to any oak declines I've heard about. I'll know by spring.
