A one-frame day

Don’t recall what filled the day without any photographs, but this was the only frame today. On a walk in Green Earth’s Chautauqua Bottoms.

Pretty sure these are Sassafras seedlings (Sassafras albidum). Between the two of them, they are showing the three types of leaves (one lobe, two lobes, and three lobes).

Lovely green leaves and I think you're right about them being sassafras.
