Reflections of Trees
Today’s image is from our travels on Halloween while staying in the Poconos. The beech trees are among the last trees in the Pocono area to hold and release their auburn leaves.
The week just got away from me! I still want so much to share all the fun things I saw in the Poconos, but you know how it goes after vacation...
Monday I’ll tell you about where we stayed, followed by some highlights of the parks we visited, the lakes and rivers we fished, and the trees and forests that kept us company along the way.

Ahh...a peek at (through?) the looking glass of the trees... beautiful, as always. Looking forward to next week's sharing, too!
ReplyDeleteGeraldine, thank you as always. It's my pleasure to share what I find.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I really enjoyed the reflection in this image. I can't wait to show you what else I saw on vacation!
Your photograph of the leaves in reflective water is beautiful. Thanks, too, for the reminder about the Festival of Trees.
ReplyDeleteLené, thank you! I was hoping you'd want to join in the festival... I've been looking through your site with glee - you have so many lovely things to share!
ReplyDeleteMany beech leaves remain on the trees all winter, only falling when the swelling buds push them off in April. They provide one of the few sources of color in winter months, by which time they will have bleached to a pale orange-yellow -- perfect for capturing the low-angled winter sunlight.
ReplyDeleteDave, ha ha! You beat me to the punch! In fact, I was planning to write a short post about beech leaf marcescence as my latest trip to the Poconos (and pictures like this one) is how I learned just what those trees were that I saw last year holding their leaves over... and you are so right - they have such a lovely pale blush to them through the winter!
