Yellow Leaves, and Then None



My second favorite tree where we live, is this Hickory tree in the front yard.  It becomes spectacular in late fall when all of its leaves turn a stunning yellow, as you can see here.


We had strong winds last night, and when I went out to get the newspaper this morning, every single yellow leaf was off the Hickory tree!  Such a dramatic change in the landscape.  But it is the cycle of seasons that matters to me - I have lived my life here in the northeast and my life is connected to the cycle of the seasons.
