Babs Young went looking for a last little dab of fall color and found this. She writes: Most of the leaves are gone, but I managed to find these in East Jordan today. Not sure what type of tree they are from, but the color is good. I’ll be in Ohio next week, so no picture until December 6. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Happy Thanksgiving, Babs – safe trip.

I’m pretty sure one of you will come up with an ID for that leaf. I’m just going to admire it myself.

It looks almost like an aspen leaf, except more orange. Hmmm.

A botanist friend in Pittsburgh sent this reference. The photo is of a Bradford pear (pyrus calleryana).

Mystery solved, and I didn’t have to crack a book. I tell ya, this Thomasina Sawyer thing is working very well.
