Fall Finds

 
White Oak

Chestnut Oak Leaves and Acorns
Fall is upon us with its lush and vibrant colors. The weather here the past few days has been glorious ~ sunny, crisp, and sparkly!  The leaves on our white oak tree are turning sumptuous shades of red this season.  I collected a few chestnut oak acorns that are also bright and colorful prior to turning solid brown.  They are pictured along with a sample of chestnut oak leaves, golden before turning a deep tan.  The most exciting find of the day was a huge patch of orange fungi growing alongside and over the top of an old stump ... quite a sight to see!
