Brooklyn Trees

Leaves on ground after first frost
Leaves on ground after first frost

We walked by this same tree yesterday and its leaves were still on the tree. The spotty frost we had here, up by the lake, brought down all these same-sized branches, all at once. The leaves are still green, the tree is bare. Fall is over for this tree, just like that. None of the mucky-muck.

I think this is one of those weed-like trees, some people call them “Brooklyn trees.” They grow up between the cracks in the sidewalks and they grow real fast but this one is so big I’m not sure. There was no metal tag on the tree like there is on so many of the trees in the park.
