Our Wild Men Tupelos

   Tonight it's supposed to rain, but I hope that it doesn't because tomorrow we want to take some more pictures of the tupelo trees in all their glory.  We should have gone out and photographed them today.  Well, we'll see how things look in the morning.

As we settle into late autumn, our surrounding hillsides are subtle shades of greyed greens and browns.  All the colors are soft and muted at this time of year...

...until you come across our three tupelos;  flamboyant wild men decked out in gaudy reds, oranges and scarlets.  I love these trees.
