Although I knew the sugar maple was well past its prime, I was still hoping to capture some pictures of the ginkgo tree a short distance down the trail. The last time I walked that way, it hadn’t peaked yet, so maybe, just maybe, today would be the day. However, as I approached the spot where the path curves around the ginkgo, I became aware of small yellow ginkgo leaves littering the trail….Lots of small yellow leaves. That’s not a good sign! I thought to myself. And sadly I was right. Maybe next year, I sighed, when the ginkgo came into sight.
Thanks for joining me today. See you soon.
