Late Fall Color

(Click on photo once or twice to enlarge it.)

The Black Sugar Maple, on the right, has shed its last leaves, the Beech in the back of my yard still has its leaves and the color is very nice. In the neighbor's yard behind me one of my favorite Oak trees has nice color. Fall is a lovely time of year; too short, but lovely nonetheless.

I saved the Maple when it was a sapling; the Beech was a volunteer seedling a few years ago.
