Landscpaping workers performing the polluting, noisy yearly ritual of blowing leaves from the lawns of Long Island yards to be carted out of sight. Long Island (aka Lawn Island) municipalites debate their fate, but it's too much for the landscaping firms to lose. Few workers have ear protection.

Before the ‘real’ work this morning, while it was still frosty and dewy, there was this icey autumn vignette. The delicate ice is only a few millmeters deep. A pinch deeper, where warmer air remained, was frost free. Soon, these feral suburban leaves will be banished to plastic bags. #FreeTheLeaves
