Even though most of the leaves on the trees in our vicinity are still green, there are flecks of fall color all around. The fallen chestnut oak acorns are bright green and yellow and various shades of tan and brown. Some are jet black. The combination of colors makes a very striking mix. Some of the nuts are touched with patches of rose, too.
I never noticed that stilt grass, which is such a pesky invasive, also turns color in fall. The tips of its leaves turn various shades of pink, red, and magenta, and it almost looks like someone came along with a paintbrush and decorated them.
Nature is always full of surprises, and each day brings something new!
