What Oak leaves do in January

During the Christmas season the Oak leaves on the tree in our front yard were bright orange-red, and have only dropped during the past two days, whereas other years they would have fallen mid-December. While raking yesterday, the proudest of all begged for portraits!

Oak leaf, photography January 2008
There are an incredible variety of oak trees common in Texas. Here, a Gambel Oak leaf blew into our yard, and the tree is no where in the vicinity!  The winter light casts long dramatic shadows around 11:15 a.m.

Bearded Iris blooming in December - Lewisville, Texas

We had our first light frost last night, but the Iris live on! I grew up in a place where winter meant winter, and the lake stayed frozen until mid-June, so there isn’t a day goes by that I don’t appreciate Iris still blooming on the 17th of December. This photo was taken on the 4th, blooming sporadically since then.

Christmas Canna

Canna Lilies in December

The Canna Lilies have been much healthier in the cooler weather than they were during the summer, when they’re supposed to bloom… a little raggedy, but they shouldn’t even have leaves at this time of year!

The temperatures have dropped considerably here today… see what I found on the dining room shades this morning. Don we now our gay apparel!
