In Austin a lot of the trees are live oaks or shrub cedar. They don't do much in the way of creating 'fall colors.' The live oaks drop their leaves brown as dust immediately replaced with green ones. There are a few trees mixed in, though, that have leaves turn gold and red before they shower the ground with a little color. Of course, the weather has been so temperate that it is just now happening in December, months after people traveled to New England to peep at bright leaves. There they have snow now. We might go the whole winter without snow. It's happened before.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fall!

Thank you for visiting my Brookville Daily Photo, Linda. And thanks for the comments about the hawk. I think it is one of my better photos. There is another photo of him on My Birds Blog.
ReplyDeleteI like your photograph of the leaves on the tree turning. The only leaves we have left here in Ohio are those few still hanging on to my oak tree. The rest are on the ground mixed in with some leftover snow.
