Florida Fall Color


Winter hasn't quite arrived in Florida.  A cool snap during the last couple of weeks has brought out the colors of Fall.  Hickories and elms have turned yellow.  Sweet gums range from bronze to maroon to a decent orange color.  In this photo of an upland tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica) one sees a pleasing medley of hues.  This is one of my favorite Florida trees.
