Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) in Autumn Colors
These leaves are growing from a tall and still-healthy Sweetgum that fell over the creek during a hurricane-related windstorm.
I enjoy wildlife, nature, music, movies, history, science, & gardening. My main web site http://www.ddmcd.com is mostly about using technology to improve management, collaboration, innovation, & communication.

It looks like there are three juvenile Yellow-crowned Night Herons in the nest, not two as I had originally thought. The nest looks about 75 feet above the ground; I took this picture through my binoculars from across the creek.
Amazing blossoms. More pictures here: http://www.ddmcd.com/timber-branch-creek/a-walk-through-the-park-on-may-31-2009/
