This tree grows across the road from my driveway. I've always admired its twisted gnarly branches but never noticed its new leaves in springtime before now. NOPE! It's NOT an autumn shot!!! This is the color of the new leaves sprouting out on this tree and it's NOT blossoms either. So unusual, I know. It seems to be some kind of oak tree but bears further investigation on my part. This shot really does NOT do any justice to all the shades of peach to rust in these new leaves either.
I do believe it's some kind of oak! Will let you know when I find out for sure!
Really is beautiful, Maggie. I do know what you mean about the "colors" because we have the same thing here. The new buds are a different color, but just as interesting and pretty. We wonder if our plants here will die off some now. Got a cold rain this a.m. and then snow. Yikes! Weird weather.
@karenann Wow! It's just too danged hot and humid here! I'm sitting on ice packs and sleeping with them. Don't want to cut the AC on yet. It's too early! Hopefully, the new buds and leaves will be okay and it won't be cold enough to freeze them. Thank you for the sweet comments and visit, gal!
I've been noticing the spring leaves coming out too...never did before either. I have seen rusty colored trees.....not what we think o fwhen we think spring.
We have some trees around here that look brown or bronze or even reddish when the new growth starts coming out so that when you see a cluster of them together it looks like it could be the Fall. I love this picture.
Its funny what this project makes you notice for the first time! I love 365 and the fact that I do see those little things I didn't before. This tree is really beautiful! Great shot!
@copperheadglass This project makes you pay attention! LOL! I thought I was too poor to pay attention but, no film or processing make it affordable to pay attention. Ha ha! Thank you, Meredith! Alway enjoy your comments and visit!
@furrylens Thank you for the lovely comments, EE! Most appreciated!
@groovygirlrn I know, it's cool though! Thank you for your comments and the view!
@marlboromaam It does! I feel like I have an eagle eye for things...it can be distracting while driving! I am drivnig along and bam! way off in the distant yard I see a squirrel or something. haha
@darsphotos Thank you, Darlene! Because it's too hot and I figure it's way too early to cut on the AC, plus I really can't afford what it will do to my electric bill right now. So I'm sitting here sweating in the heat and humidity.

This looks really fantastic viewed large. Funny how I never viewed nature during spring like this since joining the project. Things that I took for granted now appear in a different light. This tree is beautiful, and you have done an awesome job of capturing it.
Maggie, your appreciation of nature and it's beauty comes across in both your words and your lovely image. wonderful...you've left me with a 'feel good factor' after reading your word and viewing your shot
@phil_howcroft Wow! That's an awesome compliment! Thank you, Phil - I'm floored! Always enjoy reading your comments and appreciate your visit very much.
@marlboromaam I did not know it is that warm there right now. It has been up to close to 70 here but not humid. I hear you, it is so expensive and I dread using our A/C in the Summer as rates are so high. Will live in our pool. You are welcome to join us. Too bad we do not live closer. Hoping for a mild Summer again this year.
@marlboromaam well Maggie, i didn't mean to 'floor' you, just compliment you on your lovely image :) , but hey , I'm pleased my words had such an effect :)
