It is June, of course, and I am in the Northern Hemisphere. But, I saw a few of these yellow leaves here and there. I tried to ID them, but can't. They have strange squiggly markings on them in black and green.
The next unusual thing that I saw, I WAS able to identify. It is an exotic looking tree with an exotic sounding name - the Mimosa!
I prepared this post in order to participate in Nature Notes over at RamblingWoods.com. We all get together on, or about, Wednesday to see what nature is up to here and there around the globe!
Lovely nature shots from the trail.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carver...its a great walk through the woods.
DeleteThe mimosa is my favorite tree. The blooms are great for attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. I was sad to see the old one in our yard died a few years ago. I wish I had one back now. Lovely post.
ReplyDeleteThanks Eileen! These are great trees! Had not seen one before this year!
DeleteVery cool, these mimosa. I tried putting your yellow leaves in Google Goggles for id, but it came up with nothing useful.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find anything either!
DeleteGee Libby..I have no idea..I hope that someone does. I wouldn't have been able to identify the mimosa other than to say it's beautiful...Thank you for participating in this week's Nature Notes, I really appreciate it..Michelle
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to it! For the mimosa, I googled "tree fuzzy pink flowers" BAM! They popped right up - LOL!
DeleteHi Libby
ReplyDeleteMimosa I know here in Japan is yellow color. So this pink one is new to me. Thank you for showing.
ooo...I have to Google the yellow one! That sounds pretty!
DeleteI love those yellow leaves, they are beautiful. I wonder what they are?
ReplyDeleteThanks! I don't know, but they really caught my eye!
DeleteThanks, Nick :)
