Birches

[Chunk]

I've always liked birches for the way they highlight a woods, both with their always watchful trunks and their cheery fall foliage. Here's a close look at one that's brightening a Reo parking lot in Madison, WI.
If anyone else wants to post some shots of birches here, please feel free to do so.

Nice shot, I like the leaves around the edges but also the shadows on the trunk. They still look great after they lose their leaves, waiting for winter.

Hey Chunk, I hope this qualifies. I think it is a birch, it was out in front of my son's appartment this past weekend in Columbus. At any rate it has some very interesting bark.

Nice shot Steve. I'm afraid they won't have too long to wait, although I am going to take advantage of the unseasonally warm weather today and go for a ride in southwestern Wisconsin. Maybe I'll see some more birches or at least their aspen cousins.

Very nice Larry. I love the patterns and details as well as the subtle color.

Here's a shot from today's ride.
