Very soon, in Michigan, and around the midwest, my all-time favorite deciduous tree, the American Beech will be displaying its spectacular sequence of color changes. I hope you can find time to witness these changes in a woods near you. If not, these leaves are for your view:
 |
| green leaves fade into yellow |
 |
| yellow with green veins |
 |
| yellow with green veins, brown edges beginning |
 |
| brown with yellow veins |
 |
| striking striations of yellow veins on brown |
 |
| aging, yet still clinging to twigs |
 |
| lingering in late autumn - a coppery sheen |
Thank you for spending time with "Father Nature". Try to get outside soon, and often to discover the changes in these amazing American Beech leaves for yourself.
Gratefully,
