Mighty oaks from little acorns grow

I took a walk and found this little guy coming up through all of the leaf litter.

Great shot! Feels so hopeful.

[Michelle Pippin Johnson]

Isn't nature amazing?! Beautiful, and I agree with Jeff, hopeful!

[Cricket Hackmann]

Quite a find! I wish the little "sprig" well!

spring is almost here....I'm looking for it.

[Jim Carleton]

Beautiful; just plain flat-out beautiful. Excellent color contrast, as well as texture. Funny that most of the dead leaves appear to be either Sycamore or Big-leaf Maple.

@foxinsox47 Actually, most of the leaves are from liquid amber trees. I have no idea where the acorn came from.

The green stands out beautifully from the brown. This photo gives the viewer hope. Great find!

Love the pop of green, yay for spring!

[Jon Steinkraus]

If i say so myself " A Flamingo in a Flock of Pigeons" very nice picture.

[Kylee Baumle]

Looks SO familiar! Oaks are probably the most prevalent tree here. Maybe maples. Lots and lots of both!
