Mocker nut tree leaves... Best viewed large, if you will. by marlboromaam

Mocker nut tree leaves... Best viewed large, if you will.

Love looking up through the canopy of the mocker nut tree. There's lovely light falling on the leaves and blue sky beyond! Always something that munches on the leaves, too! You can see the signs.
The light through them is so stunning. lovely shot.

@vickisfotos Mocker nut trees are native to the southeastern US. That's probably why you haven't heard of them. Besides, the BBQ west of the Miss. river is usually mesquite wood. Here it's usually hickory wood. The mocker nut is in the hickory tree family. Thank you for stopping by!
