Trees

Palm trees and evergreens are OK, but I miss my deciduous jungle.  In case you can't tell from that little hint, I've been listening to 56 Hope Road.  Very appropriately, "deciduous jungle" was playing just about the time we started seeing those lovely deciduous trees in all their fall glory.

Don't misunderstand.  The palm trees were pretty cool.  I was pleasantly surprised to realize there are several varieties of palm trees in Florida that really offered some interesting landscapes.  But for me, they just can't compare to the many, many colors and shapes of the deciduous trees we have in the Midwest.  Maybe it's because they are just familiar to me, or maybe it's because I've just grown up with them, or maybe it's something else.  Whatever it is, I love them.
