I always say that nature never ceases to amaze me and the same goes for you AG! The gifs are fantastic and I just love the tree changing with the seasons. I knew a few of the things you wrote about here but learned so much more. What surprised me the most was that smoke is the signal to wake some trees up but after you explained it, I got it. Look at all of that research and time you put into this! Wow! Applause! Please tell your husband that I love his photos of the colorful shrubs. And now that my brain is spinning, as well as my head, I bid you adieu!
