Leaves of the Tulip Tree

Leaves of the Tulip Tree

Tulip trees have unremarkable flowers in that they are pale and blend in with the tree – no bright purples or pinks here. The leaves, though, change color when they die, turning wonderful yellows and reds, which are brilliant against summer foliage. Being deciduous, there is a glorious fall display, and then one waits for the coming of spring.

Walking along a trail, it is easy to miss what you are walking by or on. Often, for me, the little things along the way are the most interesting. Small and fragile, they are easily destroyed. I expect they are far more resilient than they may look!

I took this picture at the end of April when my sister was visiting from out of state.  Some post done in LR and PPS9.5.
