I love the Beech trees.  This one is at Meeks Park, but our neighborhood is full of them too.  

 

Right now, the leaves are a beautiful color between yellow and brown, and they shimmer in the wind.

 

In our area they hold onto their leaves all through the winter, until the new leaves push the old ones out.  That's how you can spot them in the woods in the winter:  deciduous trees with these beautiful brown leaves still attached.  

 

Be on the lookout, there are probably some in your neighborhood too.

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
