Waiting Their Turn

The leaves of the sycamores, the Chinese tallows, the sweet gums, the pecans, the black walnuts, the maples, the crape myrtles, the dogwoods, the chinaberries, and the sumacs have all turned.  Only certain varieties of the mighty oaks are waiting their turn to transition from green to the shades of autumn.

That bark looks like there is a face hidden somewhere the folds.

Our limbs have been bare for so long that it's a shock to learn that you still have some.

You still have leaves?? LOL. Ours are long gone.

Exactly what TexWisGirl said! Such great colors and textures.

Wish it weren't sliver gathering to catch the bark texture with one's hands...
