Winter in Southeast Michigan has been quite crazy so far. Either it is freezing temps and blowing wind, or extremely mild in the 40-50 F range. We have received sporadic bits of snowfall, then it warms up and rains like crazy, melting everything away. The sun only showed itself 2 days in January, so it has been rather grey and drab. Every time I think about getting out to my favorite winter ice spots, the weather throws a wrench in those plans.
But, no matter what the weather is like, there are always leaves on the forest floor somewhere. Sycamore trees with their very large leaves stand out in particular.






Love this image as it has an almost translucent look to me. And, as for us it has been nice. Cool mornings and warm days.
Beautiful, especially on these gray days.
Thank you!
Luminous indeed! I’m really loving your leave pics when you post them. The weather has been pretty similar here as well. But it won’t be long until we can have another ‘trillium challenge’ 🙂
Those trilliums can’t come soon enough!
