I actually like this tree better in winter than in summer. Without its leaves, I see the natural uniformity of its shape and I get to see all the bird nests.

Central Texas is not one of the hot spots for color change in autumn, or any other season. But it does happen and we can find some wonderful examples, if we just know where to look. One such place is the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.

Scars on the tree bark from something burrowing underneath the outer layer.

Tree, as a sapling, you unfurled in a century before mine
Your last leaf of life will fall long after I am dust

An old, old oak tree
