Trees

I know I don't have the best memory, but I don't remember there being this many leaves changing color this early before. There's a beautiful sycamore tree in the yard of my friends Pat and Sally that I photographed this weekend.


It's not blooming or changing colors, but here's a photo of that enormous Southern magnolia tree in my backyard. I really love it, except for the wafting smell of rotting vegetation that I'm convinced comes from the carpet of leaves and fallen branches below it. I don't know if it's apparent in the photo, but the trunk's diameter at the base has to be about three feet.
