And a nod to my Flickr friend JH from whom I took some inspiration with his recent photo "Behind the tree line"

very cold winter morning .... close to the river Naab / Bavaria / Oberpfalz..... one of my favorite trees....
After a hot and very dry summer, many of the early changing stressed trees went straight to brown... I thought maybe the fall colours weren't going to be that great this year. Well, it seems the opposite is true... perhaps some of the best fall colours that I remember. This is one of the maple trees in my "backyard", which is not really a yard, just forest. :-)
on the Hohe Straße (high road), a historical trade road between Maintal-Bischofsheim and Niederdorfelden). The so-called „Hohe Straße“ (High road) is a part of the historic road „Via Regia“.
The Via Regia ran west-east through the centre of the Holy Roman Empire, from the Rhine at Mainz to Frankfurt, continuing along Hanau, Eisenach, Erfurt to Leipzig.
The fruit, called a cacao pod, is ovoid, 15–30 cm (6–12 in) long and 8–10 cm (3–4 in) wide, ripening yellow to orange, and weighs about 500 g (1 lb) when ripe. The pod contains 20 to 60 seeds, usually called "beans", embedded in a white pulp.
The seeds are the main ingredient of chocolate, while the pulp is used in some countries to prepare refreshing juice, smoothies, jelly, and cream. Usually discarded until practices changed in the 21st century, the fermented pulp may be distilled into an alcoholic beverage. Each seed contains a significant amount of fat (40–50%) as cocoa butter.
The fruit's active constituent is the stimulant theobromine, a compound similar to caffeine.

The Humble Administrator's Garden has an entire section full of bonsai trees.
The Humble Administrator's Garden is one of the prized gardens in Suzhou (it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and was originally completed in 1526 and took 16 years to build. In ancient times, prominent Chinese men would retire and build huge gardens as a symbol of their wealth and taste. This garden was originally commissioned by Wang Xiancheng and was designed by Wen Zhengming.

Iconic tree found all over Martha's Vineyard, here overlooking the waters off Menemsha.
Way back when, "The Vineyard" was a popular summer retreat for people in Boston and a few from NYC: even my friends in Connecticut (the neighboring state, two hours by car) hadn't heard of it. That all changed in the early 1990's when then-President Clinton went to visit. Since then everyone has heard of it and now you have to make ferry reservations months in advance (we used to just drive down and drive on!). Now license plates from New Mexico and Canada are not uncommon, and the island has slowly been made "cute." However, the same slow pace reigns: there are still no traffic lights on the island, and there is very little to do aside from going to the beach and shopping for odds and ends. A nice break from frantic urban lifestyles...!
SOOC. I discovered this tree over the summer and my first thought was...
"The Whomping Willow exists!"
Except this one doesn't move :P
The Magnolia Trees bloom in the spring in the Smithsonian Castle's garden in Washington, DC. The Cherry Blossom trees, a gift from Japan, are also in bloom during this time of year.
