More photos from last week's trip to Peebles Island

This is my fourth and last post about last Sunday's trip to Peebles Island.  The previous posts covered my observations.  Now, these photos are mainly just for their beauty.

Near the start of the trail:

This tree near the start of the trail looks braided.

Two close-ups of the braided tree:  one of the braided part, and one of an outstretched branch:

By the river:

The sky is so blue today.

The brown leaves indicate that this tree is an oak.

Most of the trees here are young and small, but there are a few larger, older ones. I believe they are oaks too. (I have read that the brown leaves are more common on younger oaks.)
