Purple Majesty

Tuesday started out below freezing.  But that's OK.  Time for our first fire!


For all of its beauty, and the status as the state tree, I sometimes wonder if paper birch isn't as pretty as yellow birch.  This lovely double trunked yellow birch certainly makes the case for that species! Picture was taken during a.m. walk today.


Then there's the purple majesty of white ash.  They are just starting to change now.  Note the purple leaflets in several spots.  Maybe 10 days before leaf peak up here! And it's not even fall yet!
