Yesterday afternoon was one of those days with a clear blue sky, and the river still like a mirror. Most trees have dropped all their leaves now, and the reflections that caught my eye on this walk were all of bare branches.
On my way back I walked another way, and now these tall trees below stood out to me because they had not yet dropped their leaves. Having had a closer look, my guess is they must be some kind of oak, even if the trees as such aren't of the shape that I associate with the "usual" kind of oak. I do know that some oaks hold on to their brown dry leaves throughout winter, though, and don't drop them until it's time for them produce new ones.

Beautiful trees with or without leaves. Great reflections!
ReplyDeleteYou could almost turn those pictures upside down and we wouldn't know, especially the second one!
ReplyDeleteThere are many variety of oak and beech, so maybe these not quite typical "oak-ish" looking trees are one that's not native to Sweden and therefore there aren't many around.
What I love is that the water and the sky are the same brilliant blue!! One kind of merges into the other.
ReplyDeleteWe have one of those oak trees that hold their leaves until spring when new ones aer coming.
ReplyDeleteI love bare branch reflections in ponds, rivers, and lakes. Yours are wonderful.
Fall is my favorite time of year because of the reflections, trees with leaves or bare of leaves, and the sound walking on leaves on the ground. Looking at your blog post was the impetus for these feelings. Thank you.
