A 150 Southern red oak tree

While in Virginia, we saw this magnificent oak tree.......It was HUGE....and according to the sign in front of it....150 years old. Amazing!

Leaves are still here

 
This is the only tree that still has its leaves after our rain and snow and wind the other day. It is a sugar maple and I am perplexed as to why it does still have leaves and every other tree-except the oaks-have lost theirs. Interesting.

I knew there would be no red on this sugar maple after the 2 days of rain we had! It is our Thanksgiving morning and it has sprinkled snow!....and all the leaves are gone...at least off of the sugar maple. I so love the red leaves and am sorry it didn't happen this year. Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. There were 28 at our celebration. A fun time was had by all!

The sugar maple has not turned red....and the rain is falling....bet there won't be any red leaves on this tree this year.
