A warm summer (oops.fall) morning...

     Found myself down Southstreet way this morning. My first pic leads me to the following question.... Why do/did these trees all loose their leaves from the top down? And, do all trees do that, and I just never noticed before?

     Yesterday, as my blog noted, shows some bushes in the wild which are just magnificent at this time of year. Today I found this tree in a yard which was just bursting! At times I wish I didn't build in the middle of the woods, where I have little that grows, or whatever I do plant gets chomped by the animals, who never say thank you for free food........
