I decorated a small Pecan tree out front. I first had these decorations on the Burr Oak tree, but I could only reach the three lower branches. I decided to move the decorations to this Pecan tree, where I could reach all the branches.
All dressed up
I chose the blue fabric as a background to set off the color of the leaf.
Monday Up Close
Remnants from the Bastrop, Texas fire of 2011.
So much destruction
No life left
Burned
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.
A good structure
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.
Virginia Creeper
Cypress
Unknown (to me). I forgot to check the label.
It's a long story ...
