It's winter where I live, and most trees have lost their leaves. But what you see here illustrates a characteristic of some broadleaf trees known as marescence.

 

Marescent trees change color in autumn. But unlike deciduous trees that drop their leaves in the fall, marescent trees retain their leaves throughout winter and early spring until new leaf growth begins. It can be pretty when the sun shines, especially while the rest of the forest is leafless and brown.

 

My knowledge of trees is pretty limited, but I think this tree is a Northern Red Oak. Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

According to delivery information still scrawled on the back in chalk, the red oak china hutch was delivered to the home of my great grandparents on Pelissier Street in Windsor, Ontario, in 1900. It subsequently passed to my great grandmother, my mother, and me.

 

Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.

I have always wished that I had taken one with a darker background, perhaps like this?

But in those days one took one's shots sparingly.

 

I have never enjoyed post processing, but these last rainy days persuaded me to try to work out how layers, masks and selections worked. Still a long way to go. Any suggestions welcome

   

Winnebago County - Iowa

 

This is where I hike miles in all FIVE seasons (including golf). The kind folks that own it also groom the trails for cross country skiing in the winter, not just for their grandkids, but for those who ask permission to use it!

 

It's where I can enjoy some peace and quiet, self-isolate and hike miles with the camera at my side!

Autumn is my favourite season at Ufton Court

A dense blanket of fog enveloping the high plains of the Texas Panhandle. This was quite the unusual scene to wake up to. We usually don't experience enough humidity for fog. It looked like another world out there. The tree in the photo is a Shumard red oak.

I beleive these are Pin oak

Old Granville Rd, Massachusetts

I think this acorn is from a red oak and accidentally found its way here from USA so it sits on the mantle-piece as a curiosity. There are some red oaks in UK but they aren't a native species.

Northern Cardinal

 

Scientific name: Cardinalis cardinalis

East NIshnabotna River, Montgomery County, IA

While skilled in many disciplines, from painting to sculpture to metal work, artist Lowell Davis is perhaps best known for his farm animal figurines, distributed to thousands of gift shops across North America. Lowell was often called the “Norman Rockwell of Rural Art”. His home, Red Oak II, is just outside of Carthage, Missouri. Lowell depicts himself in this art piece, "The Flying Wagon". RIP Lowell, we all miss you!

Korth's Meadow - Iowa

 

After another 6 to 8 inches of fresh snow overnight, I'm out seeing if anything has changed! NOPE!

 

It's all still white . . . but a soft beautiful winter ambiance has once again covered our world in northern Iowa.

A big hello and hug to my friends. This is not a focused shot but love the bouncy bokeh.

Our son, our firstborn is getting married in less than two weeks and I'm so excited!!

Oak leaves changing colour as the season advances.

A walk in the woods in the rain

I love the winter light, how it comes up in the east-southeast, and the shadows from the oaks grow over the frosty ground.

With winter only being three days away, our weather yesterday was just beautiful. I posted this same view a few weeks ago, but it was still really autumn then!

 

Late afternoon shadows, snow, red oak leaves and a pristine sky makes for a simple, but iconic Iowa scene!

"Out & About" yesterday hiking the meadow and woodland enjoying our very unusual beautiful weather.

 

Well, that changed as of early this morning with a light snow fall of maybe a 1/2 inch. Now we have a winter storm watch posted for Friday! Between just you and me, I liked yesterday much better!
