Everciduous beauty.

Since the temperatures here are finally reasonable, we went for a little hike today out at a local nature preserve. I particularly loved the sun shining through all the young trees with leaves in marcescence (mostly beech and oak at this particular location), and the subtle colors of winter.

Definitely a good time to take advantage of a walk as who knows how long we'll have warmer temperatures! Thanks for sharing.

[ofearthandstars]

Agreed!!

Lovely photo, especially with the solar glow on the orange-gold foliage. I also learned the word "marcescence" from this post, so thank you!

[ofearthandstars]

You're quite welcome! :)

Another here who learned a new word from this post! And what a gorgeous photo, with the light through the trees.

[ofearthandstars]

I like the contrast of blue and brown.
