| The yellow leaves belong to a southern sugar maple (Acer barbatum). This tree was purchased from Woodlanders Nursery (Aiken, SC). It was planted in 1999, making the tree approximately 20 years old. |

| This fall foliage was photographed the day after the winter solstice. |

| The green leaves pictured in the bottom right belong to an American holly (Ilex opaca), which is an evergreen. The American holly is a volunteer, first noted in 2002. These two trees are competing for sunlight: the southern sugar maple remains the taller of the two trees, but not by much. |
