Fall Color at Gorman Nature Center

Eastern Cottonwood

I was concerned as to whether we would have much fall color this year.  It has finally arrived and I am enjoying it.  

Gorman Nature Center
Maturity is beautiful as you can see.

Sassafras Tree
I tried to tell my grandchildren one time that a Sassafras tree has five (5) differently shaped leaves.  I could only find four (4) that day.  I just read about the tree on Wikipedia and they say just three (3).  They listed the oval, the mitten and the three lobed variation.  I was thinking that the mitten thumb can be on either side.  There are probably only 3 or 4.
