Such a curious winter so far, with no snow.
The red and orange balls on the leaf I found are called 'leaf galls' and can be caused by insects, fungi, or other factors.
Also spotted a maple tree exploding with sap.
Now a new year begins...a year which will be full of natural beauty and wonder. I hope you will join me for the journey through the seasons.

You have very beautiful pictures here, it is obvious you like the nature! I like your way of seeing the forest, your details and the way you use focus, texture, colors. Great shoots!
