Beech Leaves<\/p><\/div>\n

After visiting Cathy’s mom this afternoon we drove to Woodlawn Manor and walked to Sandy Spring and back. I carried my camera, as I nearly always do, but only took a few photos. It was late in the day, overcast, and fairly dark. Even if I had seen birds, I don’t think there would have been enough light to get a good photo in the woods. I took a few pitures of horses before we went into the woods but they aren’t very good. I considered not posing any picture from today. I’m not bound to post a picture for every day as I was from 2011 through 2020, but I still try to post a picture from the days where I take any. I do make exceptions when the only pictures I take are not for sharing for some reason. But in general, if I took one or more pictures, I’ll post one.<\/p>\n

I love beech trees this time of year. Our woods have quite a few American beech (Fagus grandifolia<\/em>) and of course we also see the European or common beech (Fagus sylvatica<\/em>) especially in yards, parks, and gardens. Most of the varieties available in nurseries are F. sylvatica<\/em>. One that I love in the spring is the tri-colour beech, F. sylvatica<\/em> ‘Roseomarginata’. There is one at Asbury Methodist Village and in the spring it’s a vivid scarlet. Its leaves can’t really take our summer sun, though, so it’s not really an ideal tree for our climate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
