Black Walnut leaves (Juglans nigra) with their many leaflets turn from green to yellow early in autumn and with that change of color, they quickly fall to the ground. I love to capture the texture those leaves create against the blue sky before those leaves begin to drop.

The Black Walnut tree is also one that produces leaves quite late in the spring, in late May in some places. Early leaf loss, late leaf budding. A long time without leaves.
