Birch tree...........

The birch tree next to my house is still clinging onto a few of it's leaves.  Our fall has been a different one this year as you can see I still have a green weigela right next to the tree.  I will need to get out and rake or mow in the next week or so.

Seeing through.......

The birch tree just isn't going to be as nice this year for showing color as it has been in the past.  I think that we had a dry spell right before the time that the leaves were to change in color.  There still is some nice yellow to the tree, it just isn't as pure and clear this year as in the past.
