Black Oak leaf [Quercus velutina].Dauphin County,Pa.10-25-19.The reason leaves fascinate me,isn't just their spectacular fall color,looking at them at this time of year you can see a story.All the battles the tree and it's leaves have fought all season long,from late frost to drought,disease and insects-it is all there if you just take the time to look.
