I’m guessing that’s a beech, the one with the tan leaves. They hold them very long, and bud out early.
The messy green shrub in front is, I think, some kind of honeysuckle nastiness. I say that because it offers little in the way of pretty.

Cut flowers are usually shipped miles, often by air. Also, they are often irrigated, including if grown in a hot-house (or similar). Thus, cut flowers are not-green green…and essentially represent a transfer of water from one part of the world to another…where they are thrown out, or sometimes composted (probably with chemicals (herbicides?) on them).

I found out today that coral and jade are the 35th wedding anniversary materials.

On another street, I found a fallen sweet gum ball en route to becoming duff.

I went out for a quick walk late afternoon and found these dogwood leaves posing in the brilliant sunshine.

I do love it when the camellias emerge in the cold season…or the kind of cold season we get here in ATL.

Nothing quite looks like a rambutan…with those aesthetic spinterns in a variety of greenish and rosy hues.
