Hickory Trees

There were hickory trees in the woods near the farm where I took a walk yesterday.  There’s a couple of them in this first photo---they have the brown leaves and shaggy bark:

I startled up two deer.  As they bounded away I tried to get them in a photo.  All I got was a flash of white tail:

I'll take a deer sighting any day. Bonus points for capturing the fleeting tail. Really!

The trees are pretty, but the deers are prettier! :)

My hickory trees have all turned golden now too. No more bright yellows. They really are spectacular when they are in full color.
