Bald Cypress aka Swamp Cypress 落羽松
Taxodium distichum (bald cypress, swamp cypress; French: cyprès chauve; cipre in Louisiana) is a deciduous conifer in the family Cupressaceae. It is native to the southeastern United States. Hardy and tough, this tree adapts to a wide range of soil types, whether wet, salty, dry, or swampy. It is noted for the russet-red fall color of its lacy needles.
Note: Today I went to our county park where is about 5 minutes away from my house...and yes, I found this cypress tree has changed its color. My 1St time to photography it, well, I did it once long ago at a different park, somehow, they turned color at very late (like mid-November). I found its needles are very unique and beautiful with backlit light. However, it was so windy and cold this afternoon, I was the only one standing there trying to catch a few shots (not easy to shoot when winds blowing, you see). I believe it's the state tree of Louisiana.
