Autumn Grace

"No Spring nor Summer Beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one Autumnal face."
~John Donne


As far as I know this is a Chinese Tallow Tree.  It's my favorite tree in our yard.  I love it in the Spring when the leaves are green but as the temps here in Florida start to fall some and November approaches the leaves start to turn beautiful shades of yellow, red, orange and gold.  As you can see it's quite beautiful.  I spent a good part of the day outside standing around and under it snapping away.  By December 3rd we will no longer live at this address and my Tallow tree will remain behind for the next owners.  If only I could take it with me.

  8. Hi Ursus. Glad you stopped by. Florida is not known for its trees turning in the fall. However, we do have this tree and when it turns it's beautiful. Hope your Winter goes well and Spring is there before you know it.
