What I'm doing these days...

We have two very large Live Oak trees in our yard. One in the front and the oldest and biggest one in the backyard, which has always been called, "God's Tree". That is the tree I'm standing beneath. Live Oak leaves fall in the spring, so I'm raking them now! : - )

Lots of leaves. Nice patterns and light.

[Bill]

I like your toes being part of the shot.

[Valerina]

Awesome texture.

[Shutterbug]

Is it fall where you live? Lovely shot of the leaves. Like the lighting.

[Milanie]

Having the same fun! Top leaves fell late winter, but the bottom are still hanging on - I'll be raking forever!

[Ingrid]

So many leaves!

[Kate]

Love how you included your feet

[LManning (Laura)]

Marvellous patterns and light.

[KV]

Wow… I had no idea that the live oaks lost their leaves in the spring… lovely leaves and nice to see your shoes to give perspective.

[Mallory]

Cool shadows and light

Nice patterns and texures

[Pat Knowles]

How extraordinary to see the leaves dropping in the Spring…..perhaps it’s a bit like a copper beech hedge….they loose their leaves in the Spring just as the new buds start to fatten.

I love the play of light and shade here.

@randystreat There are LOTS of leaves! Thanks!

[GaryW]

@cwbill Thanks, Bill. It was intentional.

[GaryW]

@valerina Hey, Valerina! It's good to hear from you. Thank you!

[GaryW]

@shutterbug49 No, it is Spring! These Live Oak leaves remain green and on the tree until Spring, then fall off as the new leaves emerge.

[GaryW]

@milaniet That is EXACTLY how I feel! :- )

[GaryW]

@ingrid01 Yes, there are!

[GaryW]

@k9photo Thanks, Kate! It was intentional to give perspective.

[GaryW]

@ljmanning Thank you, Laura! I had to wait until the sun shone, since there were lots of clouds.

[GaryW]

@kvphoto Yes, they remain green all winter and fall as the new leaves emerge. They only turn color when they are off the tree.

[GaryW]

@sunnygirl Thank you, Mallory!

[GaryW]

@bkbinthecity Thanks so much!

[GaryW]

@craftymeg Thank you, Margaret!

[GaryW]

@happypat I'm not familiar with the Copper Beech Hedge, but that is exactly what these do.

[GaryW]

@jon_lip Thank you, Jon!

[GaryW]

@linnypinny Thank you, Lin!
