American Beech Leaf

The American Beech leaf comes from the deciduous tree known as the American Beech. These trees being very tall and strong are used to make furniture and other wooden household items. These trees are common to the North East , durring the winter the beech tree leaves fall off, although many of them do not and remain an orangish yellow color as seen in my picture. The reason that I chose this picture is because I like how these trees are still colorful in the winter and contrast with the snow perfectly.
