Birch Tree Garden

 

The leaves are just starting to change colors here in Cottage Grove and all over the Twin Cities. 

Like A Tall Tree

 We have been a bit under our normal weather temperatures this spring, but this day was the turn of the good weather. Just waiting on the leaves to fill in now and we will be in full bloom.

An Apple A Day

This squirrel was quite protective of his find. Not to mention my amusement trying to get a picture of the little fella.

Colorful River Banks

The fall colors are fading fast as the season changes into winter. I took this Autumn capture a couple of weeks ago in Taylors Falls. I would bet that the trees are looking very bare with very little leaves remaining on the branches.

Tree Change

The leaves, they are a changing.

Missing Summer

I'm sticking with the warmer weather theme because, as of this writing, outside air temps are at -11F (-24C). It's suppose to drop to somewhere between -15F to -18F in the Twin Cities. Head four hours north into Minnesota border and you'll find temps in the -30F to -40F range.

Looking Up

Spotting these pine cones growing atop of a tree in the yard of swc. It seamed unusually to see that many, way up near the top, while very few were seen in the middle and lower half of the tree.
